CICAG forthcoming events on RSC website

9th Artificial Intelligence in Chemistry Symposium

2-4 September 2026 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 eight 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 organizing a conference to present the latest 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 again feature the popular “Introduction to AI in Chemistry” workshop on Day 1, including an introduction to Python and Jupyter notebooks. This meeting will be of interest to scientists of any level of experience from academia and industry. Abstract submissions is open. The deadline to submit your abstract is Friday 15th May 2026. The RSC-BMCS and RSC-CICAG are offering a small number of bursaries to attend the meeting in person. Applications are open to PhD and post-doctoral applicants studying at academic institutions or non-profit institutions. Preference will be given to members of the RSC-BMCS and RSC-CICAG. Bursary applications are also invited from RSC or EFMC members who are of working age, but currently unemployed, and from those who may have difficulty in funding themselves or whose organisations may have difficulty in funding their attendance. The bursary value for this event is up to £700 and applicants have to fill either an RSC-BMCS or RSC-CICAG application form.
