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 purpose of this meeting is to spotlight research efforts spanning fundamental and applied inorganic chemistry targeting solutions to current technological, environmental, and medicinal issues. This meeting will feature speakers and poster presenters from diverse backgrounds in the inorganic community with broad interests in a variety of areas including coordination chemistry, extended materials, nanotechnology, and theoretical chemistry. The relaxed format of the seminar and presentation of unpublished work facilitates open discussion, collaboration, and insight to tackle existing challenges in these areas.
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 February 28, 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.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by March 28, 2022. Please check back for updates.
