8th RSC-CICAG / RSC-BMCS Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry
Dates
Monday-Wednesday, 22nd – 24th September 2025
Place
Churchill College, Cambridge
Synopsis
Artificial intelligence is increasingly revolutionizing chemistry. We are witnessing the impact of new methods and practical applications in many diverse areas of chemistry. Following on the successes of seven annual “Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry” meetings starting in 2018, we are pleased to announce that the Chemical Information & Computer Applications Group (CICAG) and Biological & Medicinal Chemistry Sector (BMCS) of the Royal Society of Chemistry are once again organising a conference to present the current advances in AI and machine learning in chemistry. The meeting will be held over two and half days and will combine aspects of artificial intelligence and deep machine learning methods to applications in chemistry. The programme will include a mixture of keynote talks, panel discussions, oral presentations, flash presentations, posters and opportunities for open debate, networking and discussion.
This year’s meeting will build on 2024’s popular “Introduction to AI in Chemistry” workshop on Day 1, this time with an additional introduction to Python/Jupyter notebooks.
