SUMMARY:Chemical Artificial Intelligence in Homogeneous Catalysis (ChemAICat) Workshop
DESCRIPTION:KEY DETAILS\n\n\n\n\nDATE1 -3 SEPTEMBER 2026 TIME09:00 – 17:00 COST£75 – ACADEMIA £150 – INDUSTRY REGISTRATION DEADLINE14 AUGUST 2026 \n\n\n\nApply Now\n\n\n\nagenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT LOCATION\n\n\n\n\nUNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOLMaterials Innovation Factory\, 51 Oxford St\, Liverpool\, L7 3NY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Workshop\n\n\n\nThe Chemical Artificial Intelligence in Homogeneous Catalysis (ChemAICat) workshop held at University of Liverpool offers a practical guide to different AI techniques that can be applied to accelerate or complement research in homogeneous catalysis. It is especially recommended for experimental and computational chemists with basic or no Python programming experience. The classes aim to provide these researchers with ready-to-use workflows that they can introduce into their routine research tasks. Some of the protocols covered include: \n\n\n\n\nBasics of Python and cheminformatics\n\n\n\nAutomated descriptor generation from ChemDraw and CSV files\n\n\n\nData-driven and efficient chemical exploration for catalyst sampling\n\n\n\nAI-driven optimization of reaction conditions\n\n\n\nAI-driven catalyst discovery\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho Should Attend: \n\n\n\nThis workshop is aimed at experimental and computational chemists working in homogeneous catalysis with little or no experience in Python. The workshop is suitable for the following career stages: PhD students\, postdoctoral researchers and Early Career Academics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-Requisites: \n\n\n\nTo help you get the most from the workshop\, please ensure the following are completed in advance: \n\n\n\n\nAttendees must bring their own laptops to run the programs used during the workshop. Windows\, macOS and Linux operating systems are supported.\n\n\n\nComplete a preliminary setup to install the required Python environments. Instructions will be provided a few weeks before the workshop and should take 30-60 minutes to complete.\n\n\n\n(Optional) Share custom problems in advance that could be included in the problem-solving sessions. This will allow the workshop to focus on topics that are most relevant to the audience\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 26th June 2026 and decisions will be given to applicants by 10th July 2026.Please note: all bookings are non-refundable. \n\n\n\n\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 ChemAICat Workshop.We 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.A social networking event will be hosted on one evening (day to be confirmed) during the school and is included in the registration.For those seeking alternative options\, Liverpool offers a wide range of hotels\, serviced apartments\, and budget accommodations within easy reach of the University.Liverpool 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\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.Manchester 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\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Supervisors\n\n\n\nDr. Jamie Cadge (University of Bath) \n\n\n\nDr. Ruben Laplaza (IIQ\, University of Seville-CSIC) \n\n\n\nDr. Thijs Stuyver (PSL University) \n\n\n\nDr. Juan V.
