Welcome to the Gordon Research Conferences, a non-profit organization managed by and for the
benefit of the scientific community. The Gordon Research Conferences provide an international forum
for the presentation and discussion of frontier research in the biological, chemical, and physical
sciences, and their related technologies.
GRC is organizing over 400 Conferences in 2010 and 2011. Meetings will be held in
California, New England, Texas and North Carolina in the United States and internationally
in Italy, China, and Switzerland.
For over 75 years, GRC's high-quality, cost-effective meetings have been recognized as the
world's premier scientific conferences, where leading investigators from around the globe
discuss their latest work and future challenges in a uniquely informal, interactive format.
Apply to a Gordon Research Conference now and see why attendees consistently rate them
"the best conference I've attended this year".

GRC is committed to bringing young scientists together to discuss their current research and
build informal networks with their peers that may lead to a lifetime of collaboration and scientific
achievement. To that end, GRC, with the Kenan Institute for Engineering, Technology & Science
at North Carolina State University, has established the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) program, a series of
2-day meetings organized by graduate students and post-docs with the support of leading scientists
from an associated GRC.
Young investigators are encouraged to visit the
Student/Post-Doc Resources section of our web site. This new
area contains helpful information for graduate students and post-docs interested in attending
a GRC or Gordon Research Seminar.
Gordon Research Conferences have a rich history and 2006 marked our 75th Anniversary
at the frontiers of science. As part of that landmark anniversary, a commemorative publication titled
Reflections from the Frontiers was produced in cooperation with the Chemical Heritage Foundation.

The first Gordon Research Conference was held in a Baltimore classroom in the summer of 1931.
Since then, the number of sites has expanded to accommodate the growing conference portfolio,
and today, GRCs are held year-round in locations all over the world.
GRC is particularly excited to highlight our newest conference locations:
Waterville Valley Resort in Waterville Valley, NH,
Hotel Galvez in Galveston, TX,
Stonehill College in Easton, MA, and
Mount Snow Resort in West Dover, VT.
These sites offer state-of-the-art facilities, and in the classic GRC tradition, are situated in
beautifully scenic areas.
