Automated Intelligent Chemistry 2026

Automated Intelligent Chemistry 2026 takes place on 24 November 2026 at SCI HQ, London. It is organised by Society of Chemical Industry, and B2DB lists 7 speakers and 9 sessions announced so far.

This one-day symposium, organised by SCI's Young Chemists' Panel, brings together academic and industrial researchers working in automated chemistry, from high-throughput experimentation to the development of new algorithms. It covers automated solid and liquid handling robotics, flow chemistry, reaction monitoring and purification, and the combination of automation with data analysis and experiment-design algorithms. The meeting is aimed at automation and high-throughput chemists, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industry chemists, PhD students and postdocs, and chemists interested in AI and cheminformatics applied to synthesis.
