SUMMARY:Winter School: Robotics and AI for Materials Chemistry 2025
DESCRIPTION:KEY DETAILS\n\n\n\n\nDATE8 – 12 December\, 2025 COST£100 \n\n\n\nApplications CLOSED\n\n\n\nView detailed agenda\n\n\n\nRead the Blog\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT LOCATION\n\n\n\n\nChemistry Building\, University of LiverpoolLiverpool\, L69 7ZD\, United Kingdom \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: Applications are now closed for this training school. \n\n\n\nThe Robotics and AI for Materials Chemistry Winter School is a five-day intensive training programme focused on digital and automated chemistry\, robotic systems\, and AI-driven scientific discovery. Hosted at the University of Liverpool\, the school is designed for PhD students and early-career researchers\, or those new to digital chemistry and AI\, and who want to build their capabilities in this rapidly evolving field. A strong working knowledge of Python is required to fully benefit from the practical sessions and technical content. \n\n\n\nThis Robotics and AI for Materials Chemistry Winter School will: \n\n\n\n\nProvide essential skills in digital chemistry\n\n\n\nStrengthen understanding of AI and machine learning\, building on participants’ existing knowledge\n\n\n\nOffer hands-on experience with key tools and techniques for automated\, intelligent lab environments\n\n\n\n\nParticipants will explore a range of cutting-edge topics\, including: \n\n\n\n\nDigital twins for robotic chemists\n\n\n\nBayesian optimisation for chemical discovery\n\n\n\nAI-driven robotic chemists\n\n\n\nRobotic manipulation for lab automation\n\n\n\nSimulation of robotic chemists\n\n\n\nComputer vision-led chemistry\n\n\n\nMulti-modal machine learning for science\n\n\n\nAgentic AI-based discovery\n\n\n\nHuman-in-the-loop robotic discovery\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProvisional Programme\n\n\n\nMondayTuesdayWednesdayThursdayFridayInvited Talk: Dr Felix HankeInvited Talk: Dr Michele CaprioPractical Tutorial: Bayesian Optimisation for Chemistry – Dr Bojana RankovicInvited Talk: Dr Efi Psomopoulou Invited Talk: Dr Shijing SunPractical Tutorial: Bayesian Optimisation Basics and Human-in-the-loop modelling’ – Dr Manisha DubeyPractical Tutorial: Robot SimulationPractical Tutorial: Robot ManipulationProject WorkInvited Talk: Prof. Subramanian RamamoorthyPractical Tutorial: Machine Vision for ChemistryProject WorkProject WorkProject WorkProject PresentationsSocial Networking Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nConfirmed Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Felix HankeCusp AI\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Manisha DubeyUniversity of Edinburgh\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Michele Caprio University of Manchester\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Bojana RankovicEPFL\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Efi PsomopoulouUniversity of Bristol\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Shijing SunUniversity of Cambridge\n\n\n\n\n\nProf. Subramanian Ramamoorthy University of Edinburgh\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAccommodation and Travel\n\n\n\nPlease note that the registration fee does not include accommodation\, travel or subsistence. Participants are responsible for arranging their own accommodation and transport during the Winter School. \n\n\n\nWe are happy to recommend the Novotel Liverpool Paddington Village\, a modern hotel conveniently located within walking distance of the University of Liverpool campus. This hotel offers comfortable rooms\, breakfast options and easy access to local amenities. \n\n\n\nA social networking event will be hosted on one evening during the school and is included in the registration. \n\n\n\nFor those seeking alternative options\, Liverpool offers a wide range of hotels\, serviced apartments\, and budget accommodations within easy reach of the University. \n\n\n\nLiverpool is well-connected by rail\, with Liverpool Lime Street Station approximately a 10-minute walk from the University campus. For those travelling by car\, parking is available at the Paddington Village Car Park\, located close to the University and the recommended hotel. \n\n\n\nAirports:\n\n\n\n\nLiverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) – Around 30 minutes from the University by taxi or public transport. The airport offers flights to many UK and European destinations.\n\n\n\nManchester Airport (MAN) – Around 1 hour by train or car\, with direct rail connections to Liverpool Lime Street. This airport provides a wide range of international flight options.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:\n\n\n\nPlaces are limited and to ensure a balanced mix of expertise and perspectives we are asking applicants to apply. As demand is expected to be high\, we ask all interested participants to complete the application form by 24th October 2025 and decisions will be given to applicants by 31st October 2025. \n\n\n\nPlease note: all bookings are non-refundable. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact details:\n\n\n\nFor questions related to this event please contact the AIchemy project management team at info@aichemy.ac.uk. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Organising Committee:\n\n\n\nAlchemy HubUniversity of LiverpoolDr. Ben Alston (University of Liverpool) Caroline Woods (University of Liverpool)Dr Gabriella PizzutoDr Xenofon EvangelopoulosProf. Alessandro TroisiMinh Cao
