Overview:

This workshop is being run by the AIchemy Hub, in association with the teaching team from Imperial College Department of Chemistry. We will explore how (Gen)AI is starting to change the landscape of undergraduate chemistry education, and discuss its applications in chemistry teaching, alongside the benefits and challenges associated with its use.  

While some Chemistry departments have been early adopters in using (Gen)AI in chemistry teaching, we are aware of others that are yet to incorporate (Gen)AI into their curriculum. This workshop will therefore provide case study examples while also providing opportunities for wider discussion on the topic. 

The morning sessions will outline how (Gen)AI is being used in teaching at Imperial, including showcasing its benefits through guiding experiments, and the challenges associated with using (Gen)AI in chemistry. The afternoon sessions will cover how other chemistry departments are using AI (through invited presentations) and allow time for group discussion on the use of AI in education (chemistry and beyond). 

The workshop has limited spaces and due to the potential interest across all chemistry departments in the UK, we have set up an application process to ensure all chemistry departments have the opportunity to send a representative.

Application Process:

1. Applications are open to all interested individuals involved in chemistry education.
2. There will be the opportunity to submit an abstract, alongside the application, for those who would like to present how their department is using AI in chemistry teaching. Presentation time approx. 10 mins depending on numbers wishing to present. 
3. Application deadline is Friday 30^th May 2025.
4. The expectation is that all universities will be guaranteed at least one place at the workshop (space permitting). 
5. Application outcomes disseminated in mid-June, along with confirmations to those selected to present. A payment link will be sent to those whose attendance is confirmed. Payment is required to secure your place. If payment is not received by 30th June, the place may be offered to another applicant.
6. Cancellation policy – If you are no longer able to attend after confirmation, please notify us as soon as possible so your place can be offered to another department.
7. Should space become available, those universities selected to present, will have the first opportunity for an additional representative to attend.
8. Remaining places will be allocated randomly.
