our HISTORY

Making an Impact for Nearly 40 years

Telluride Science (initially established as the Telluride Science Research Center) was founded in 1984 by R. Stephen Berry and Peter Salamon as a think-tank for interdisciplinary collaboration. The organization lives at the creative crossroads of physics, chemistry, energy, biomedicine, material science, and nanotechnology. Learn more.

Telluride Science (formally known as the Telluride Science Research Center or TSRC) was founded in 1984 as an interdisciplinary think tank for science and engineering challenges.

 

While much of the workshops are focused around insights gained at the molecular level, the full breadth of perspective includes insights also made at the quantum and cellular levels. The organization lives at the innovative crossroads of fundamental science, energy, biomedicine, material science, and nanotechnology.

We feel beyond fortunate

To have this majestic place and community as optimal environment to facilitate communication, collaboration, and creativity.
