Gordon Research Conferencesとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Gordon Research Conferences are international scientific conferences organized by a non-profit organization of the same name. The conference topics cover frontier research in the biological, chemical, and physical sciences, and their related technologies. The conferences have been held since the northern hemisphere summer of 1931, and have expanded to almost 200 conferences per year. Conference locations are chosen partly for their scenic and often isolated nature, to encourage an informal community atmosphere. Contributions are "off-record" to encourage free discussion, often of unpublished research. Conferences were extended to cover science education in 1991. The conference topics are regularly publicised in the presitigous journal Science: 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006.
