Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Nanomaterials for Applications in Energy Technology 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.

This meeting will focus on the design, synthesis, and characterization of new materials for energy generation, storage, and conversion. Beyond stimulating scientific discussion, the GRS is a great learning and networking opportunity for young and emerging scientists.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Nanomaterials for Applications in Energy Technology" 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.
