Conference Description

This first inaugural Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on "Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors" strives to bring together early career scientists to discuss recent advances in the field of molecules machines. This program will place particular focus on the preparation and application of molecular switches and machines across multiple facets of chemical science.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Artificial Molecular Switches and Motors" 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.
