Inorganic Chemistry (GRS)

Gordon Research Seminar

Bioinorganic, Organometallic, and Materials Science: Applications for the Advancement of Fundamental Inorganic Chemistry

June 16 - 17, 2018

Chairs Tobias J. Sherbow and Xian B. Powers

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 highlight the interplay between applied and fundamental research in inorganic chemistry. This conference will highlight the current advancements made in areas such as energy conversion, nanotechnology, theoretical chemistry, catalysis, biomedicine, and materials science, with particular emphasis on transitioning from a fundamental idea to a deployed product.

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.
