Note: Applications for oversubscribed meetings will only be considered by the Conference Chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.
GRS Speaker Abstract Deadline: Although applications will be accepted until the date noted above, any applicants who wish to be considered for an oral presentation should submit their application by May 10, 2013. Please refer to the Application Instructions section below for more details (if available).
The Nanoporous Materials & Their Applications Gordon Research Seminar will be held in conjunction with the
Nanoporous Materials & Their Applications Gordon Research Conference. Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Please refer to the Nanoporous Materials & Their Applications GRC web page for more information.
Meeting Overview
The Gordon Research Seminar on Nanoporous Materials & Their Applications is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.
The focus of this meeting is to explore the frontiers of the synthesis, characterization, and application of zeolites, mesoporous materials (MCM-like), metal-organic-frameworks (MOFs), clathrates, porous carbon, inorganic-organic hybrid materials, and other nanoporous materials. The topics that will be explored include (but are not limited to) advances in synthesis, emerging applications, and catalysis and biomass conversion. The poster sessions will provide additional opportunities for the presentation and discussion of important contributions to these fields.
Application Instructions
The meeting will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.
The Chairs will select speakers from abstracts submitted by May 10, 2013. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Deadline section above.
