The Conference Server Network (CSN) is a pioneering digital platform that empowers conference organizers to deposit, share, and discover conference proceedings and research work presented at various conferences. This innovative platform offers academic institutions, research organizations, and conference organizers a unique opportunity to create their own conference proceeding servers, showcasing research work presented at conferences, workshops, seminars, and symposia.

CSN allows conference organizers to build a comprehensive repository of conference proceedings, showcasing innovative research and ideas. This boosts the conference’s credibility, facilitates collaboration among incubators, funding agencies, and other stakeholders, and unlocks opportunities for entrepreneurship, investment, and innovation.

CSN provides assistance in obtaining an ISSN (International Standard Serial Number) and assigns an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) from the Library of ज्ञानम् (Gyanam) to conference proceedings, adding credibility and visibility to the research outputs. This amplifies the impact of the conference on the global academic community.
