Through the links on this webpage you can see programs of past conferences, conference reports, and photos taken at the biennial conferences. The photos represent a pictorial history of the participants. For identification of individual participants in the group photographs through 1998, see the chapter entitled "History of the Gordon Research Conferences on Computational Chemistry" by D. B. Boyd and K. B. Lipkowitz, in Reviews in Computational Chemistry, K. B. Lipkowitz and D. B. Boyd, Eds., Wiley-VCH, New York, 2000, Vol. 14, pp. 399-439. This chapter also reproduces the 1986 and 1988 programs.

The GRC office website has the programs since 1994, although these lack full details for the early conferences. Hence, we provide full details of the programs for early conferences below; these are labeled "Chair's program". We also provide information about the poster papers, which has not previously been available online.

  • When and where? August 29 - September 3 at Les Diablerets, Switzerland, the beautiful Swiss valley where the conference met in 2006.
  • An exciting program covering the frontiers of computational chemistry will be designed to appeal to a wide range of computational chemists.
  • All computational chemists are invited to apply in 2010.
  • 2010 is when an academic scientist will be elected to become the Vice-Chair in 2012 and Chair in 2014. Leading computational chemists working in academia and government who have attended prior GRC-CCs and are familiar with the objectives and style of these conferences are especially encouraged to attend.
  • Those interested in attending can apply by contacting the GRC office via the Web or email.
