After the remarkable success of the 1st edition of the international conference on RECENT ADVANCES IN FUNDAMENTAL AND APPLIED SCIENCES (RAFAS) in November 2016, we are pleased to announce the 2nd edition of RAFAS in November 2019 to spur the exchange of knowledge and ideas in the field of science and technology. The conference will be a convergence of scientists, research investigators, students, and other professionals from diverse backgrounds who will deliberate upon various current issues related to different branches of sciences and technology.

The primary aim of this conference is the presentation of current research and the latest technologies being adopted to address local and international scientific challenges. RAFAS 2019 will provide an ideal environment for young researchers as well as practitioners to promote discourses regarding new advances in every facet of science and technology. The focus of the conference will be on various research fields of basic sciences (viz. Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics), including Chemical Engineering and Petroleum Engineering. On similar lines to that of the previous edition of RAFAS, the current edition will also provide a perfect platform to build productive coordination between the academia and the industry, which is very much the need of the hour. So, you are hereby cordially invited to participate and share your innovative ideas during RAFAS-2019.
