Conference Description

The Molecular and Ionic Clusters GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

The seminar’s focus this year is on recent experimental and theoretical advances in understanding the interactions, structure, and dynamics of molecular and ionic clusters across a broad range of sizes—from a few atoms to droplets and nanoparticles—under various temperature and pressure regimes.

Held immediately prior to the Gordon Research Conference on the same topic, the GRS serves as an ideal introduction for early-career researchers to one of the premier meetings in the field. The program is designed not only to highlight emerging scientific directions but also to support the professional growth of young researchers on its Career Panel, where attendees can discover and discuss possible career paths with experts in a wide range of professions and backgrounds.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Molecular and Ionic Clusters" 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.
