Structural, Dynamic and Reactive Properties in the Liquid Phase

The Chemistry and Physics of Liquids GRC is a premier, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field.

Freely flowing and relatively dense yet adopting the shape of the container that holds them would be a generic description of a liquid. But the complexities associated with the liquid phase are vast. Lacking regular structure that defines many solids, but including significant intermolecular interactions, liquids present significant challenges for both experimental and theoretical studies. Perhaps this accounts for the long-standing interest these systems and for the long history of the Gordon Conference on the Chemistry and Physics of Liquids, which has provided a venue for researchers to meet, discuss and debate about important and intriguing aspects of liquids as they influence areas ranging from fundamental properties to fantastic behavior. The 2023 meeting promises engaging and exciting sessions that highlight the most recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies of solvation, osmolytes, electrolytes, liquids at interfaces, in biology, in motion, as well as motion in liquids, vitrification and glasses. Keeping with previous Liquids GRCs, this conference will feature presentation of unpublished results by leading scientists and emerging scholars, In addition, this meeting will also feature the two-day Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) to encourage participation by graduate students and postdocs and to enhance their engagement in the larger meeting. Four participants will be selected from the GRS and GRC poster sessions to present short talks at end of the main GRC program, a tradition that highlights excellent work by up-and-coming scientists.

Due to limited accommodations at this venue, guest housing is very limited. To request family/guest housing please reach out to your Conference Operations Associate.
