Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Self-Assembly and Supramolecular Chemistry 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 range of topics discussed will include the molecular level design of various supramolecular systems and architectures, the inter- and intramolecular forces that drive their assembly, and the function and properties of these systems from the molecular level to the macro scale. The broad scope of this meeting reflects the interdisciplinary nature of supramolecular chemistry and self-assembly, and will provide a fantastic opportunity for scientists from different disciplines to foster new collaborations and engage in stimulating scientific discussions.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Self-Assembly and Supramolecular Chemistry" 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.
