Highlighting Emerging Technologies Grounded in Fundamental Inorganic Research

June 7 - 8, 2014
Chairs and

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Inorganic 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 focus of this meeting is inorganic synthesis and characterization in the context of new technologies with high societal impact. The program will showcase cutting edge work in areas where inorganic chemists are making significant contributions to the technologies that will define the society of tomorrow.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Inorganic Chemistry" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
