Conference Description
The Inorganic Chemistry 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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.
The 2026 Inorganic Chemistry GRC will showcase research at the intersections of fundamental research and technological implementation of both the comprised symposium and conference participants. Highlights of the program will include emerging fields such as nanotechnology, materials science, physical inorganic chemistry, energy systems, catalysis, and interfacial reactivity.Oral and poster presentations will highlight how inorganic chemistry has enabled innovation or discovery across a variety of topics: design and synthesis of molecules and materials, measuring and predicting structures and properties, developing and deploying new technologies. A focus, consistent with the mission of Gordon Conferences, will be on novel and unpublished work.
The topics, speakers, and discussion leaders for the conference sessions are displayed below. The conference chair is currently developing their detailed program, which will include the complete meeting schedule, as well as the talk titles for all speakers. The detailed program will be available by January 31, 2026. Please check back for updates.
