The AIchemy ECR Exchange is primarily aimed at Early Career Researchers across the UK, including PhD students and postdoctoral researchers working at the intersection of AI and Chemistry.
While Scotland-focused, the event welcomes participants from further afield who are keen to contribute to and engage with a growing research community. This Exchange is designed to connect emerging researchers, create space for meaningful networking, and encourage open knowledge sharing.
By bringing together ECRs working across disciplines, the event aims to spark new collaborations and lay the groundwork for future collaboration opportunities.
Through engagement with industry speakers and partners, attendees will gain insight into real-world challenges and translational pathways, helping to shape and focus their research and future career development.
Call for Lightning Talk Abstracts
We invite submissions of oral and poster abstracts from researchers working across all areas at the intersection of AI and Chemistry, including interdisciplinary and applied research.
This is an opportunity for ECR’s, PhD students and postdoctoral researchers to showcase their work to a focused audience of peers, academic leaders, and industry representatives working at the AI and chemistry interface.
Selected applicants will be invited to deliver an oral presentation as part of the main programme, providing a platform to share their research, receive feedback, and spark potential collaborations. There will also be the opportunity to present a poster, creating additional space for discussion, networking, and deeper engagement with attendees.
Abstract submission deadline: 27th April
