SUMMARY:Winter School: Robotics and AI for Materials Chemistry 2026
DESCRIPTION:KEY DETAILS\n\n\n\n\nDATE23 – 27 NOVEMBER 26 ACADEMIC PARTICIPANTS£150 INDUSTRY PARTICIPANTS£300 \n\n\n\nAPPLY HERE\n\n\n\n agenda COMING SOON\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEVENT LOCATION\n\n\n\n\nNovotel Hotel\, University of Liverpool Campus3 Paddington Village\, Liverpool\, L69 7ZD \n\n\n\n\n\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\nAfter a hugely successful 2025 Winter School\, we’re delighted to bring it back for 2026. Take a look at last year’s programme and highlights to see what to expect. \n\n\n\n\n\nProvisional Programme – Coming Soon\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers – To be announced\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.
