Faculty members and Ph.D. scholars from #NCRA recently took part in the "Cosmic Connections" meeting, hosted by The Institute of Mathematical Sciences. The event brought together over 100 cosmologists from across India to discuss the Universe’s evolution through its early, intermediate, and late stages.

An exciting event starting in Mumbai in a few days. Best wishes to the organisers and the students that represent our country on the world stage. The last time India hosted this event was in 2016 in Bhubaneshwar.
