Gordon Research Conferences
Gordon Research Conferences are a group of international
scientific conferences organized by a
non-profit organization of the same name, since 1931 covering frontier research in the
chemical, and
physical and later
biological, sciences, and their related technologies. The conferences have been held in the US since 1931, and have expanded to almost 400 conferences per year since 1990, including Europe and Asia. Conference locations are chosen partly for their scenic and often isolated nature, to encourage an informal community atmosphere. Contributions are
off the record, with references to the conference in any publication strictly prohibited to encourage free discussion, often of unpublished research. In 1991, conferences were extended to cover
science education.
