This award provide funds to assist in bringing together a diverse group of international scientists and engineers working in the area of adhesion. Adhesion's pervasive role in areas as diverse as structural materials, biomaterials, membranes, and protective coatings, to name only a few, has come to be widely appreciated in recent years. The interest in adhesion as a science has been spurred by two developments. One has been the growth in techniques to manipulate surfaces and interfaces in multiphase materials systems, with significant improvement in the overall behavior of such systems. The other has been the rapid progress in molecular and atomic level characterization of surfaces and interfaces. Still being developed is a thorough understanding of how molecular or atomic level details at the interface between the adhering phases are related to the macroscopic performance characteristics. Correspondingly, the construction of a complete and general theory of adhesion is still in process. To achieve this goal, several scientists need to exchange not only results, but ideas. They need to challenge each other, teach each other, and develop insights from one another. This can be best accomplished by an extended period of personal interaction. The Gordon Conference, providing a week of close contact among scientists, is one of the few venues that provides the required face-to-face interaction.

该奖项提供资金，帮助聚集在粘合领域工作的不同国际科学家和工程师群体。 近年来，粘合力在结构材料、生物材料、膜和保护涂层等多种领域中的普遍作用已得到广泛认识。 两项发展激发了人们对粘附作为一门科学的兴趣。 其中之一是操纵多相材料系统表面和界面的技术不断发展，此类系统的整体行为得到了显着改善。 另一个是表面和界面的分子和原子水平表征的快速进展。 仍在开发的是对粘附相之间界面处的分子或原子级细节如何与宏观性能特征相关的彻底理解。 相应地，完整的、通用的粘附理论的构建仍在进行中。 为了实现这一目标，几位科学家不仅需要交流结果，还需要交流想法。 他们需要互相挑战、互相教导、互相发展见解。 这可以通过长时间的个人互动来最好地实现。 戈登会议为科学家提供了为期一周的密切接触，是为数不多的提供所需面对面互动的场所之一。
