While there exist many hard-and-fast principles to manipulate at the atomic-scale the electronic, redox, and optical characteristics of π-conjugated molecules and polymers, the translation of these molecular characteristics to the macroscopic materials properties that are critical to the functionality of organic semiconductors remains highly Edisonian. Recent experimental and theoretical efforts have brought forward some under underpinnings to direct molecular-scale and microscopic order in organic semiconductors through molecular and process design, though these concepts are not robust and often fall short across materials classes. This workshop will bring together synthetic chemists, materials scientists and engineers, process design specialists, device engineers, and theoreticians to chart the next steps forward in the design of new generations of organic semiconductors with a view towards controlling assembly.

We wish to ensure an intimate workshop setting, with no more than 20 to 25 participants. If you are interested in attending but have not received an invitation, please contact the workshop organizer before registering.

Sessions typically run mornings and late afternoons, leaving mid-day free for informal collaboration.

Travel to Telluride can be expensive; please assess your own potential travel costs before registering.

Please book your travel plans! The Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) is the most reliable and convenient airport for Telluride.

Telluride Science can provide lodging starting as low as $215/night during off-peak weeks and as low as $250/night during peak-season at the Mountainside Inn. These affordable lodging options are limited and available first-come, first-serve. To encourage participants to secure affordable lodging, we offer a $100 discount on lodging provided through Telluride Science that is secured before the Early Bird deadline. Additionally, we work with many lodging providers in Telluride and Mountain Village to offer discounts between 10-15% off your total lodging balance. Additional information provided with registration.

If you have more questions about lodging, reach out to Sara at sara@telluridescience.org.

Registrations may be refunded less a $25 cancellation fee. If cancelled before the lodging cancellation deadline, lodging payments are refundable less a $100 cancellation fee. It is each participant's responsibility to confirm and understand their own lodging cancellation deadline. Travel insurance is highly recommended.
