2014年戈登研究会议（GRC）和戈登研究研讨会（GRS）2016年固态化学GRC：材料发现策略：由固态和材料化学计划资助的明天材料的进展将在新伦敦新罕布什尔州的科尔比索耶学院举行，GRS会议将于7月16日至17日举行，GRS会议将于7月17日至22日举行，2016. GRC会议将通过为固态化学前沿的思想交流提供开放的氛围，直接影响所有与会者，并将提供一个独特的论坛，汇集专家，年轻科学家和学生，披露未发表的数据，挑战和讨论新颖的想法，并推动科学和创新的前沿。可以形成新的合作，产生新的想法，如果没有这些重要的会议，这些想法是不会出现的。演讲者将向他们的同事传达最前沿的信息，目的是通过此次披露激发所有与会者的广泛讨论，并逐步推进该领域的发展。会议的包容性，合议的气氛，并强调分享以前未发表的信息，使创新的方法，以解决我们的世界面临的最重要的挑战的培养。这一战略是GRC的一个标志，80多年来一直为科学界服务，促进科学进步。 GRS是专门为研究生和博士后研究员举办的会议，将促进一种环境，将新的研究生引入会议气氛，让所有学生和研究员在低压力环境中展示他们的工作，并促进同行之间的网络联系。GRS还将设有一个职业小组，由来自学术界、国家实验室和工业界的导师组成，以帮助为固态社区的未来提供知识。GRC会议的目的是促进学术界、工业界和政府实验室的研究人员之间的思想交流和建立伙伴关系。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。技术固态化学GRC的重点将是能源和环境应用的材料，会议强调了我们在生产足够的能源同时维护环境所面临的挑战。为了克服这一重要问题，我们需要设计新的化合物，优化现有材料，并了解结构和物理性质之间的关系，这将需要多学科的方法。本次会议将汇集一系列知名科学家和学生，讨论固态化学的最新进展和挑战。 明确鼓励演讲者和海报展示者强调各种当前主题的进展，未发表的结果，新的和有风险的想法。组织者强烈鼓励积极参与讨论和海报会议，这为展示新的和令人兴奋的研究提供了一个极好的机会。固态化学是一个多学科领域，其重要性不仅随着新材料的发现而不断增加，而且还通过对现代技术所能实现的固体的各种性质的更深入理解而不断增加。该领域的重要性和范围已经增长，以应对持续的挑战，以理解，控制和预测固体的结构和性质，以及合成具有增强物理性能的新材料的需要。

NON TECHNICAL The 2014 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on 2016 Solid State Chemistry GRC: Strategies for Materials Discovery: Progress Toward Tomorrow's Materials funded by the Solid State and Materials Chemistry Program will be held at Colby-Sawyer College in New London New Hampshire with the GRS meeting on July 16-17 and the GRS immediately following from July 17-22, 2016. The GRC meetings will directly impact all of the attendees by providing an open atmosphere for exchange of ideas on the cutting edge of Solid State Chemistry and it will provide a unique forum to bring together experts, young scientists, and students to disclose unpublished data, to challenge and discuss novel ideas, and to push the frontiers of science and innovation forward. New collaborations can be formed and new ideas generated that would not otherwise occur if not for these important conferences. Speakers are expected to convey cutting edge information to their colleagues with the objective that this disclosure will stimulate expansive discussion among all attendees and progressively advance the field. The inclusive, collegial atmosphere of the meeting, and the emphasis on sharing previously unpublished information, enables the cultivation of innovative approaches to address the most important challenges facing our world. This strategy is a hallmark of GRC and has served the scientific community and facilitated the advancement of science for over eight decades. The GRS, which is a meeting solely for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, will promote an environment to introduce new graduate students into a conference atmosphere, allow all students and fellows to present their work in a low stress environment, and promote networking among peers. The GRS will also feature a career panel with mentors from academic, national laboratory, and industrial sources to help empower the future of the solid state community with knowledge. The intent of the GRC meeting is to promote the exchange of ideas and the building of partnerships between researchers from the academic world, industry and government laboratories. 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. TECHNICAL The focus of the Solid State Chemistry GRC will be materials for energy and environment applications, and the conference highlights the challenges that we face in producing enough energy while maintaining our environment. To overcome this important problem, we will need to design new compounds, optimize existing materials and understand the relationship of structure and physical properties and it will require a multidisciplinary approach. This conference will bring together array of established scientists and students to discuss the latest advances and challenges in Solid State Chemistry. Speakers and poster presenters are explicitly encouraged to emphasize advances, unpublished results, new and risky ideas on a variety of current topics. The organizers strongly encourage active contribution to discussions and participation in poster sessions, which offer an excellent opportunity for presenting new and exciting research. Solid State Chemistry is a multidisciplinary field whose importance continues to increase not only with the discovery of new classes of materials, but also through a deeper understanding of the diverse properties of solids made possible by modern techniques. The importance and scope of the field has grown in response to the continuing challenge to understand, control, and predict the structures and properties of solids and the need to synthesize new materials with enhanced physical properties.
