About Program







This is part of its efforts to popularize science to the general public and students who are pursuing science as their career. TNSF attempt to focus on students on higher science as everyone knows that learning of science at college within the curriculum is not enough to acquire holistic knowledge of science at the appropriate time. Hence, to fill the gap between what students are acquiring through the curriculum and what it is required, TNSF is planning its activities on higher science to students who are pursuing higher education.




About the Lecture

The decision to transition away from “fossil fuels" was the first time the term appeared in a COP’s formal outcome since UN climate negotiations began 30 years ago.

30 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்பு ஐநா காலநிலை பேச்சுவார்த்தைகள் தொடங்கிய பின்னர், "படிம எரிபொருட்களில்" இருந்து மாறுவதற்கான முடிவு, COP இன் முறையான விளைவுகளில் முதன்முறையாக இந்த பதம் இடம்பெற்றுள்ளது
