This year the themed talks will focus on the integration of AI into Chemistry. How is AI changing the game?
The themes are the following:
Speakers: aimed at Chemist teachers, technicians, undergraduate, postgraduate, PhD students and early career researchers in Chemistry. However, everyone is welcome.
Each speaker is given 10 minutes to present their topic with or without a PowerPoint presentation (no other visual aids permitted). All the speakers must attend in person at Burlington House.
Prizes to be won: £300 for the winner and £150 for the run-up in each section.
Light refreshments will be provided to all who attend in person at Burlington House.
The themes are the following:
- AI Driven Drug Discovery and Design: how AI accelerates the discovery and design of new drugs by predicting molecular interactions and optimising drug properties. Exploring the role of AI in revolutionizing pharmaceutical chemistry.
- Material Science - Designing the Future of Chemicals. Examine how AI is transforming material science by predicting properties and behaviours of new chemicals and materials, leading to breakthroughs in advanced materials and sustainable chemistry.
- Green Chemistry - Sustainable Chemical Processes: how AI can optimise chemical processes to be more sustainable, reduce waste, and contribute to the design of environmentally friendly chemicals and solvents. How AI can aid in solving global environmental challenges by helping chemists develop solutions for carbon capture, pollution control, and renewable energy.
- Automating the Chemical Laboratory - AI in Robotics and High-Throughput Experimentation: how AI-powered automation and robotics are transforming laboratory workflows, enabling faster and more efficient experimentation through self-driving labs and AI-assisted synthesis.
- Chemical Education and Research - Transforming Learning and Discovery: how AI is reshaping chemical education and research by offering new tools for learning, predicting experimental outcomes, and enhancing the teaching of complex chemical concepts.
Speakers: aimed at Chemist teachers, technicians, undergraduate, postgraduate, PhD students and early career researchers in Chemistry. However, everyone is welcome.
Each speaker is given 10 minutes to present their topic with or without a PowerPoint presentation (no other visual aids permitted). All the speakers must attend in person at Burlington House.
Prizes to be won: £300 for the winner and £150 for the run-up in each section.
