Connects 2.0

Feeling a part of the community is an integral part of attending a GRC. GRC Connects 2.0 matches a long-time attendee at a Gordon Research Conference with a first time attendee to ensure new attendees feel welcomed and included as a member of the community, serving as a "meeting mentor."

The GRC Power Hour™

GRC has had a longstanding commitment to inclusion and addressing the challenges women and all underrepresented groups face in achieving equity in science. The Power Hour promotes conversations about the barriers to inclusivity within its 400 communities and has been incredibly popular with both men and women, reflecting growing conversations in the sciences about issues including unconscious bias, mentoring and sponsorship, strategies for addressing harassment and inappropriate behavior, and the culture change needed to support the professional growth of all scientists.

The GRC Community

You'll always remember your first GRC.

Thursday night's lobster dinner is a long-standing tradition at GRCs in New England.

Poster sessions are lively, interactive opportunities for all attendees to share their latest work.

Our venue staff is always happy to help!

GRCs are intimate conferences where all participants contribute to the discussion of research at the frontiers of science.

We know how hard our conference chairs work. That's why we provide training at four locations worldwide every year to give them the tools and support they need to organize the best conference in their respective fields.

Discussion doesn't end in the meeting room. That's why conferees have plenty of time outside of the science sessions to network during our free afternoon time.

"I volunteered to chair a GRC because I was always impressed by the excellence of the GRC, and having an opportunity to shape one of them was a great honor and a fantastic challenge."

-

"GRCs are different from other scientific conferences because they are organized by members of the community, they emphasize new results and they are structured to provide enough time (free of distractions) to interact meaningfully."

-

"GRCs are different from other scientific conferences because they stimulate discussion among researchers from industry, academe and government with a wide range of experience from novice to expert."

The Gordon Research Conferences provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of frontier research in the biological, chemical, physical and engineering sciences and their interfaces.

Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) are:

Created by scientists, for scientists
Forums to discuss pre-publication research at the forefront of
your field
Informal communities of experts in the field
A great opportunity to network with your peers

Gordon Research Seminars (GRS) are:

Organized by and for young investigators
A way to interact with leaders who may later serve as mentors
