The existence of the Archaea as the third domain of life was discovered approximately 30 years ago. While Archaea share certain features with both the Eukarya and Bacteria they exhibit unique structural and metabolic adaptations that allow them to thrive under extreme conditions such as extremely high or low temperature, salt saturation conditions, and extremely high and low pH. In contrast to the Eukarya and Bacteria, Archaea are much less characterized. Gordon Research Conferences (GRCs) constitute the most prestigious conferences in all areas of life sciences. The purpose of the GRCs is to communicate and discuss ideas at the frontiers of science and technology. The GRC on Archaea has a long-standing history that began in 1984. Held in a two-year cycle, the archaeal GRC gathers leading scientists from all over the world, and it constitutes the most significant meeting on archaeal basic and applied research. Amongst the speakers for the 2007 conference ten are funded by NSF. The 2007 GRC program expands on a number of emerging topics highlighting the evolution and composition of microbial communities, novel archaeal species and archaeal viruses and their impact on the environment, archaeal metabolism, and research that stems from sequence analysis of archaeal genomes. The PI specifically requests support for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the 2007 Archaeal GRC. The goal is to expose young scientists to cutting-edge research, and to give them the opportunity to exchange ideas and make contacts in the formal and informal environment provided by the GRC site.

大约30年前发现了作为生命的第三个领域的存在。虽然古细菌与真核生物和细菌有某些共同的特征，但它们表现出独特的结构和代谢适应性，使它们能够在极端条件下茁壮成长，如极高或极低的温度，盐饱和条件，以及极高和极低的pH值。戈登研究会议（GRC）是生命科学各个领域最负盛名的会议。GRC的目的是交流和讨论科学技术前沿的想法。 古维亚的GRC有着悠久的历史，始于1984年。考古学研究大会每两年举行一次，聚集了来自世界各地的顶尖科学家，是考古学基础和应用研究领域最重要的会议。在2007年会议的发言者中，有10人是由NSF资助的。2007年GRC计划扩展了一些新兴的主题，突出了微生物群落的进化和组成，新的古细菌物种和古细菌病毒及其对环境的影响，古细菌代谢，以及源于古细菌基因组序列分析的研究。 PI特别要求支持研究生和博士后研究员参加2007年的学术研讨会。 其目标是让年轻科学家接触前沿研究，并让他们有机会在GRC网站提供的正式和非正式环境中交流想法和进行接触。
