In an endeavour to support chemical/materials education, Farook College initiated a conference series named “Emerging Frontiers in Chemical Sciences, EFCS” in the year 2017 under the chairmanship of Prof. T. Pradeep. The first international conference, EFCS 2017, was held during September 23-25, 2017, and it was inaugurated by eminent scientist Prof. C. N. R. Rao. EFCS committee decided to conduct the international event every two years interspaced with a national event. .
The 10th edition of EFCS, which also marks the Sixth International Conference (EFCS-2026), is scheduled to be held from November 29 to Decemeber 01 2026.
The conference is intended to provide a platform for young researchers and science aspirants to communicate with experts in the country. This also aims to link the college and the outside world to the broader chemical science areas. It also acts as a forum to unite the chemical/material science community in the region, spread across various institutions.
With plenary talks, poster sessions, and awards such as the Sulochana Nandan Lifetime Achievement Award and the Young Scientist Award, EFCS has grown into a vibrant platform for collaboration, mentorship, and innovation — encouraging young researchers and advancing the frontiers of chemical sciences while bridging academia, industry, and society. The conference has featured speakers from leading institutions across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, and has consistently provided a unique space for informal engagement between established scientists and emerging talent.
As EFCS reaches its tenth edition in 2026, it celebrates a decade of inspiring science, international collaboration, and unwavering commitment to nurturing the next generation of chemists
