School of Physical Sciences

Join us for a one-day deep dive into the future of AI in chemistry, where the focus will be Agentic AI. This symposium will explore how Large Language Models (LLMs) acting as autonomous agents, are transforming the way we design, predict and accelerate chemical discovery.

Leading international researchers and innovators will present the latest advances in agentic AI methods, demonstrating how these systems can make autonomous decisions, navigate complex chemical problems and explore new frontiers in molecular science. From automating workflows to uncovering novel compounds, the event will highlight how intelligent AI agents are becoming powerful catalysts for innovation.

With speakers at the forefront of this rapidly evolving technology, this is an event not to be missed.

Registration and payment deadline: 14 November 2025

Join us for a one day Symposium at Cloth Hall Court, University of Leeds where we aim to bring together recently appointed academics, postdoctoral researchers and late-stage PhD students who are developing and deploying AI at the chemistry interface.

We welcome researchers from all backgrounds across the physical sciences. Our aim is to build a supportive and inclusive community where you can learn, share experiences, and explore topical areas such as molecular and materials design, generative models, robotics and automation for autonomous experimentation, data-driven simulation, and green and sustainable chemistry.

AI and ML is opening new frontiers across the chemical sciences from accelerating materials discovery, to enabling sustainable reactions and autonomous experimentation. If you’re ready to join the community, and be part of shaping the future of AI in chemistry, this is the place to begin. 

Registration and payment deadline: 9th January 2026
