Indian Conference-Abstracting Database (ICon-AD)

Indian Conference-Abstracting Database (ICon-AD) is one of the non-profit initiatives of Library and Information Centre of Nagindas Khandwala College, Mumbai (affiliated to University of Mumbai). It is a database comprised of abstracts submitted to various conferences (international/ national/ state level) organized by Indian colleges, universities, corporate firms, government agencies etc. This database aims to archive all the abstracts received by Indian organizers of conferences. It acts as a connecting platform for organizers of conferences, authors, and readers.
