New Starters in AI for Chemistry

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
