The Green Chemistry GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
This meeting will highlight the central role of Green Chemistry in addressing today’s most pressing sustainability challenges. Discussions will explore how innovators at the molecular scale can drive transformative solutions for global impact. By bridging fundamental science with real-world applications, the GRS aims to showcase pathways toward a more sustainable future.
The program will feature keynote lectures from leading researchers, student oral and poster presentations, and interactive panels focused on mentorship, publishing, and career development. With an emphasis on inclusivity, the meeting seeks to represent diverse perspectives and research from across the world. Beyond scientific exchange, the GRS offers and excellent opportunity for participants to expand their professional networks, foster collaborations, and engage in dialogue on how chemistry can shape a more sustainable society.
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 19, 2026. 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.
