The Gordon Research Seminar on Computational Chemistry 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 environment of this meeting encourages the participants to freely discuss ongoing projects, develop new collaborations and inspire scientific creativity.

In this seminar, we aim to integrate the branches of computational chemistry to showcase the many applications of the field. A broad range of method application, from quantum chemistry to molecular mechanics to cheminformatics, will be covered. Our objective is to bring together researchers to promote an innovative, creative and collaborative atmosphere. Participants from all computational or related fields are encouraged to apply and submit an abstract for a poster and/or an oral presentation.

Application Instructions

The seminar 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 seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by April 16, 2022. 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 Information section above.

Program Format

Gordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated GRC. The GRS opens with a 1-hour introductory session on Saturday afternoon, followed by a poster session, dinner and a 2-hour session in the evening. Sunday morning begins with breakfast and is followed by another 2-hour session, a second poster session, and lunch. A final 1-hour session takes place just after lunch, and the associated GRC begins later that evening.
