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 17, 2013. Please refer to the Application Instructions section below for more details (if available).
The Soft Condensed Matter Physics Gordon Research Seminar will be held in conjunction with the
Soft Condensed Matter Physics 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 Soft Condensed Matter Physics GRC web page for more information.
Meeting Overview
The Gordon Research Seminar on Soft Condensed Matter Physics 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 foster scientific exchange among young scientists in the highly interdisciplinary community of soft condensed matter physics, with particular emphasis on understanding and creating complexity in soft matter systems. The meeting will conclude with a panel discussion on pursuing careers in science by investigators at various stages in their careers.
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 17, 2013.
