The 2014 Gordon Research Seminar on Research at High Pressure will be held on the June 21-22, 2014, University of New England Biddeford, USA. This seminar precedes the traditional Gordon Research Conference and is led by young researchers for the participation of students, post docs and other early career scientists.

The focus of this meeting is the continued development of High Pressure Research as a tool for studying matter at extreme conditions, currently all areas of high pressure research show great complexity; biological systems, large unit cells, electrides, and bonding at multi-Mbar pressures, multi-eV temperatures. Dissemination of new diverse and evolving techniques utilized by the numerous high pressure communities will also be an important aspect of the meeting. Representatives (Graduate Students and Post-docs) from the many fields in high pressure science will present their results, applications, and tools in a manner accessible to all whilst provoking in-depth conversations and new ideas.

Financial support is available upon request and the deadline for oral presentations is March 21st 2014.
