Conference Description
The Electron Spin Interactions with Chiral Molecules and Materials 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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 an array 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.
Electron Spin Interactions with Chiral Molecules and Materials (GRC) 2027 will explore how spin-polarized electrons generated by chirality can be quantified and harnessed to drive chemical reactivity and energy conversion, enable quantum-material and device functionality, and influence biological electron transfer. The program begins with single-molecule and junction platforms, then expands to molecular building blocks, synthesis, and chiral assemblies, including solid–liquid “spinterfaces.” It next focuses on metrology and spectroscopy, reinforced by a cross-cutting panel on reproducibility, standards, and what to measure in CISS, to establish robust benchmarks across experimental approaches. The conference then moves into ultrafast chiral charge motion and excited-state spin dynamics, followed by quantum materials and topological chirality and spintronics and quantum information, and culminates with sessions on biofunction and quantum bio and electron–nuclear spin polarization transfer.
The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include 9 sessions and the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by November 4, 2026. Please check back for updates.
