Conference Description
The X-Ray Science 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scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages.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 a diverse range 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.
X-ray science plays a key role in addressing major societal challenges and makes significant contributions to the fields of health, earth and environment, energy, mobility and information. Scientists and engineers make use of the bright and well-defined X-rays from synchrotron radiation sources and free-electron lasers to unravel the structure, dynamics, and function of complex matter. Based on a new disruptive technology, many synchrotron radiation sources worldwide currently undergo a transition to the next generation, providing unprecedented opportunities in X-ray science. In this very exciting and dynamic period, the 2023 Gordon Research Conference on X-Ray Science will highlight recent work and advances in accelerator-based X-ray sources to create X-ray beams with tailormade properties, the development of X-ray imaging, characterization and analysis techniques, and applications of X-rays to frontier scientific challenges. It will also cover the possibilities of X-ray science to contribute to global societal challenges.
The 2023 GRC on X-Ray Science will be held in conjunction with the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). The GRS (July 22-23, 2023), a two-day meeting preceding the GRC, is specifically designed for graduate students and early career researchers. The meeting offers a unique opportunity for young scientists to present their work to their peers. It is expected that GRS participants will remain to participate in the subsequent GRC.
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 March 25, 2023. Please check back for updates.
