About ICSSP9

We are delighted to announce ICSSP9, the 9th "International Conference on Solidification Science and Processing" and we are particularly happy to invite you to join us in Hyderabad from Dec 05โ€“08, 2026 at IIT Hyderabad (IITH)! The ICSSP Conference series is a triennial event for researchers to present and discuss the latest advances and future directions in solidification science, which was first held at Bangalore in 2001. Subsequently, it was held at Bangalore (2004), Jaipur (2006), Chennai (2009), Bhubaneswar (2012), Hyderabad (2015), Trivandrum (2018) and Jodhpur (2023).

Scope of the Conference

Solidification and metal casting process

The aim of this conference is to bring together academicians, scientists, technologists and students working in the field of solidification science and processing to discuss recent developments and review challenges faced by the community. The conference consists of invited oral presentations and contributed posters, always held in a single-session mode without parallel sessions. Students are encouraged to present their work through poster sessions; best posters will be judged and awarded during the conference. Topics of interest for ICSSP9 include but are not limited to:
