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.
Gordon Research Conferences in 2008 and 2009
GRC is organizing over 370 Conferences in 2008 and 2009. Meetings will be held in
California, New England, Texas, and Montana in the United States and internationally
in France, Italy, China, Switzerland, and the UK.
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.

NEW! Resources for Graduate Students and Post-Docs
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 has established the Graduate 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 Graduate Research Seminar.

75th Anniversary Celebration (2006)
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.

Conference Sites
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 two new conference locations:
Waterville Valley Resort in Waterville Valley, NH, and
Hotel Galvez in Galveston, TX.
Both sites offer state-of-the-art facilities, and in the classic GRC tradition, are situated in
beautifully scenic areas.
