Gordon Research Conferences is proud to announce the establishment of:

Gordon Research Conferences (Hong Kong) Limited

A registered charitable organization in Hong Kong

The GRC expansion in Hong Kong aims to improve scientifi c collaborations around the world, increase networking opportunities and facilitate advancements in new scientifi c fi elds.

GRC provides an atmosphere and format that fosters informal discussion and networking among scientists. Our high quality, cost-effective meetings are widely recognized as the world’s premier scientifi c conferences. Visit us at www.grc.org.

The following NEW meeting will be held in Hong Kong in 2013:
