Conference Description
The Colloidal, Macromolecular and Polyelectrolyte Solutions 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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.
Dispersions and solutions of colloids, macromolecules, or polyelectrolytes enable the development of functional materials for societally critical applications such as energy production and storage, controlled release, biomaterials, and environmental remediation. This GRC will feature talks that address exciting open questions in the fundamental science controlling the structure, dynamics, and emergent properties of these soft building blocks; the active, biomimetic, and/or learning processes by which they assemble in and out of equilibrium; and their use in advanced applications.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by May 7, 2025. Please check back for updates.
