Welcome to the Gordon Research Conferences, a non-profit organization managed by and for the benefit of the scientific community. The Gordon Research Conferences provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier research in the biological, chemical, and physical sciences, and their related technologies. Click here to learn more about Gordon Research Conferences.

GRC meetings have a rich history and 2006 marked our 75th Anniversary at the frontiers of science. As part of that landmark anniversary, a commemorative publication titled Reflections from the Frontiers was produced in cooperation with the Chemical Heritage Foundation. Look for a complimentary copy at your next Gordon Conference! We are also pleased to announce the launch of www.frontiersofscience.org, a companion web site which archives and supplements the content of this publication.

Our web site contains a wealth of information about the GRC Organization, both past and present. Feel free to browse our meeting schedule, submit an application to attend a Conference, learn more about our meeting sites, read up on the latest news and events, brush up on GRC's history, and much more!

A brief note from the GRC director, Dr. Nancy Ryan Gray:

I am extremely honored to serve as only the fifth GRC director in 75 years and to continue the tradition of excellence that makes the Gordon Research Conferences so successful. When asked what I admire so much about GRC, I reply, "It's the story." It's the story of an amazing organization conceived, built, and maintained by scientists, and the story of an organization that has hosted scientific meetings for three-quarters of a century and has done it exceedingly well. It is a fascinating story that, as a scientist, makes me proud. And it is a story that continues to unfold.

Gordon Research Conferences in 2008:

GRC is holding over 190 meetings in 2008. Conferences will be held in California, New England, and Montana in the United States and international meetings will be held in France, Italy, China, and the United Kingdom.

Whether you've been to a Gordon Conference before or not, there has never been a better time to see what the excitement is all about. Be a part of history... come to a GRC!
