The geological and geodynamic history of the Gondwana supercontinent has been the focus of a series of annual research symposia organised by the International Association for Gondwana Research since 2004. The eighth symposium in this series was held at the
National Geophysical Research Institute (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research) in Hyderabad, on 26-28 August 2011. This was the first time that the symposium had been held in India, an event made more auspicious by it forming part of the Golden Jubilee Year celebrations of the host organisation. NGRI scientists have now been documenting the role of India in the origin and evolution of Gondwana for fifty years, and this symposium allowed the Institute to showcase much of its recent work to an international audience.
