Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Crystal Engineering is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new results and cutting edge ideas.

Crystal Engineering as a science has always been at the intersection of chemical physics, synthetic chemistry, crystallography and material science. This meeting seeks to emphasize those connections and explore applications of crystal engineering in smart materials, pharmaceuticals, porous phases, cocrystals etc.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Crystal Engineering" 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.
