Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Colloidal, Macromolecular and Polyelectrolyte Solutions 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 2022 meeting will focus on sharing work about formation, dynamics, arrest, and other nonequilibrium transitions in colloidal solutions, gels and soft materials, polymers and proteins, active matter, and interfaces. Students developing experimental, analytical, or computational methods to study such phenomena in these materials are also encouraged to apply.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Colloidal, Macromolecular and Polyelectrolyte Solutions" 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.
