Venue and travel
The 10th ICCMS will be held at the Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar campus. The campus is around 25 km away from the "temple city" Bhubaneswar. Bhubaneswar is the place where temple building activities of Orissan style flowered from its very inception to its fullest culmination extending over a period of over one thousand years. The new Bhubaneswar with its modern buildings and extensive infrastructure perfectly complements its historic surroundings. With facilities to cater to every type of visitor, Bhubaneswar makes an ideal destination for holding international event like ICCMS 2025.
