The two days International Workshop on Mathematical Foundation and Applications of Gravity sponsored by the Science Engineering Research Board, Department of Science and Technology (DST-SERB) was held on 25th and 26th August 2022. The event was organized by the Department of Basic Science and Social Sciences (BSSS), NEHU with active support from Department of Biomedical Engineering, NEHU. The event was inaugurated at the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) by the Vice Chancellor, Prof P.S Shukla on 25th August, 2022. More than 270 participants registered from India and abroad namely from countries such as U.K., France, Canada, Estonia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Greece. The main objective of the Workshop was to highlight the connection between Mathematics and Physics which has immense applications in modern times. Primarily, the Workshop aimed to promote interdisciplinary research as per the vision of New Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The Vice Chancellor Prof. P.S. Shukla stressed upon students to learn new skills in mathematical sciences as it is an integral part of our daily lives. Further cross collaborations among different disciplines and learning in an enhanced environment may be stressed upon. He called upon students to develop and come with innovative idea and solutions which could benefit the society in the long-run. The convenor Dr. Jibitesh Dutta, Dept. of BSSS, NEHU emphasised on the need for such Workshop on regular basis to motivate young minds to explore space science and foster a research culture in the Society. Further, he hoped that the workshop will provide new research directions and lay the foundations for a bridge between different areas of mathematics and theoretical physics.
