 Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Photochemistry 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 2013 GRS on Photochemistry will include discussions from a broad range of disciplines, which are at the heart of photochemical sciences and make advance the field . The conference themes will include but not be limited to organic and inorganic mechanistic photochemistry, new chromophores, displays, imaging, spectroscopy and photophysics, luminescent sensors. The seminar sessions will include Sensors, Signaling and Photorelease; Energy Harvesting and Conversion; Spectroscopy and New Chromophores and Novel Applications of/in Photochemistry. A careers discussion panel will be held as well; this will enable participants to envision careers opportunities in photochemical sciences.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Photochemistry" 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.
