Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Renewable Energy: Solar Fuels 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 Renewable Energy: Solar Fuels GRS will examine the science that underlies solar fuels production including light capture, charge separation and multi-electron catalysis. Topics will span from fundamental studies of materials and molecular systems to integrated devices, and the meeting will bring together a diverse group of young researchers in these fields.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Renewable Energy: Solar Fuels" 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.
