Conference Description
Due to increased demand and pricing associated with the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the Boston area, GRC strongly encourages attendees
to make travel arrangements early to help minimize associated travel costs. We anticipate limited availability of hotel rooms,
rental cars, and transportation options departing from Boston, so please plan accordingly.
As a cost-effective transportation option, we encourage attendees to consider the GRC bus service, which can be reserved directly
through your myGRC account. Space is limited.
If you require an extended stay, please contact your COA, as GRC has secured a limited number of discounted rooms at the Embassy Suites
Boston Logan Airport.
The Organic Reactions and Processes 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 2026 GRS will aim to highlight the value of mechanistic insights in the discovery and optimization of chemical transformations. The understanding of mechanisms is at the core of reaction method development. We would like to showcase how the “designer approach” can be used in practical scenarios in synthesis and catalysis. We hope the seminar exposes early career scientists to a broader understanding of premier research in organic reactions and processes, and to provide an inclusive environment for inspiring discussions.
An outline of the program components for this GRS is displayed below. The seminar chair is currently developing their detailed program schedule, which will include the speakers they select from submitted abstracts, in addition to any additional components outlined below. The detailed program will be available by April 14, 2026. Please check back for updates.
