2010 Gordon Research Conference in Solid State Chemistry;Colby-Sawyer College;New London, NH, USA; August 1-6, 2010

2010年戈登固态化学研究会议（GRC），由固态和材料化学计划的支持，将在科尔比索耶学院，新伦敦，NH，美国（2010年8月1日至6日）。2010年固态化学戈登研究会议的主要议题是“功能材料的设计”。本次会议将继续将来自不同背景的研究人员聚集在一起，研究各种材料类型，讨论固态化学的最新进展和挑战。本着GRC概念的精神，本次会议的目的是促进思想交流，并在固态化学领域前沿的学术，工业和政府研究人员之间建立牢固的关系。演讲者，以及海报主持人，将被鼓励强调进步，未发表的工作，新的想法，并对未来的各种当前主题的猜测。固态化学领域包括广泛的材料学科，年度戈登会议上的知识交流真正塑造了该领域的未来方向。然而，新材料的发现具有产生新性质和奇异现象的潜力，可以在技术创新和基础科学领域引发巨大的进步。非技术性2010年戈登固态化学研究会议（GRC）的演讲者代表了学术界、工业界和政府实验室，具有强大的国际贡献。在固态化学的各个领域工作的领先科学家已被邀请，导致一个计划，预计将吸引该领域的许多研究人员的兴趣。因此，一些会议的内容跨越不同的材料类型和用途，因此应该引起那些从事不同类别化合物工作的人的兴趣。许多年轻的科学家沿着更资深和杰出的科学家一起被列入该计划，他们承诺使演讲和讨论代表该领域的新方向。明确鼓励发言者就前沿问题进行前瞻性讨论。 资金将用于使30名学生，博士后和教师从本科院校参加会议。 在甄选过程中，将特别注意扩大代表性不足群体的参与。

TECHNICALThe 2010 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Solid State Chemistry, supported by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry program will be held in Colby-Sawyer College, New London, NH, USA (Aug 1-6, 2010). The principle topic of the 2010 Solid State Chemistry Gordon Research Conference is "Functional Materials By Design". This conference will continue the precedent of bringing together researchers from diverse backgrounds, studying a variety of materials types, to discuss the latest advances and challenges in solid state chemistry. In the spirit of the GRC concept, the intent of this meeting is to promote the exchange of ideas and the building of strong relationships among academic, industrial, and government researchers working on the frontiers of the field of solid state chemistry. Speakers, as well as poster presenters, will be encouraged to emphasize advances, unpublished work, new ideas, and speculations for the future on a variety of current topics. The field of solid state chemistry includes a broad cross-section of materials disciplines, and the intellectual exchange at the annual Gordon conference truly shapes the future directions of the field. Discovery of new materials, however, bears the potential to generate new properties and exotic phenomena, and can initiate dramatic advances in technological innovations as well as in basic science.NON TECHNICAL The speakers at the 2010 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Solid State Chemistry represent academic, industrial, and government laboratories with a strong international contribution. Leading scientists working in various areas of solid state chemistry have been invited, resulting in a program which is expected to draw the interest of many researchers in the field. As a result, the content of some sessions cuts across different materials types and uses, and should therefore draw the interest of those working on diverse classes of compounds. Many younger scientists are included in the program along with more senior and distinguished scientists, promising to make the presentations and discussions representative of new directions in the field. Speakers have been explicitly encouraged to present forward-looking discussions of frontier issues. Funds will be used to enable 30 students, post-docs and faculty from undergraduate institutions to attend the conference. Special attention will be given to broadening participation from underrepresented groups during the selection process.
