SUMMARY:Patenting AI & Materials: IP Webinars
DESCRIPTION:KEY DETAILS\n\n\n\n\nWEBINAR 1: IP FUNDAMENTALS DATE & TIME11 march 2026\, 14:00 – 15:00 WEBINAR 2: STRATEGIC IP DATE & TIME15 APRIL 2026\, 14:00 – 15:00 \n\n\n\nWEBINAR 1 Register HERE\n\n\n\nWEBINAR 2 Register HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Keltie LLP patent attorneys Dr Monica Patel and Dr Emily Weal for a two-part webinar series on protecting innovation at the intersection of AI and materials science. The sessions will guide researchers\, innovators and start-ups through IP fundamentals\, patenting strategies\, and practical tools for recognising and protecting commercially valuable ideas in AI-enabled materials discovery. \n\n\n\nWEBINAR 1: IP FUNDAMENTALS \n\n\n\nThis webinar will introduce the fundamentals of IP for researchers and innovators working at the intersection of AI and materials. The session will cover the differences between patents\, registered designs and trade marks\, how the patent process works in the UK and internationally\, and what typical hurdles to patentability look like in practice. The session will showcase real examples of patentable technologies in materials science and AI\, and highlight how AI-driven approaches are being applied to materials discovery and development. The webinar is designed for a broad audience\, and no prior knowledge of IP or patents is required. \n\n\n\nWEBINAR 2: STRATEGIC IP \n\n\n\nThis webinar will build on these foundations to focus on how to recognise and protect commercially valuable ideas in AI and materials. The session will cover how to identify patentable inventions in your research\, principles of strategic patent drafting for data-driven and AI-enabled materials innovations\, and common IP ownership and collaboration pitfalls in multi-partner projects. The session will also cover an introduction to competitor patent searching and patent landscaping techniques\, and practical IP tips tailored for start-ups and spin-outs emerging from the AI and materials ecosystem. While open to all\, attendees will benefit from having joined Webinar 1 or having a basic familiarity with core IP concepts. \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Monica PatelSenior Associate\, Keltie LLP\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Emily WealPartner\, Keltie LLP

SUMMARY:AIchemy’s Monthly Webinar Series – March 2026

As a result\, major materials databases accumulated thousands of near-duplicate structures that could not be recognized by any past tools [1]. The latest example is the correction of the A-lab paper in Nature [2]\, where almost all words “novel” and “discovery” were crossed out. We will present a rigorously justified approach to uniquely identifying the atomic structure of any periodic crystal by complete\, continuous and fast geometric codes [3]. \n\n\n\n[1] D.Chawla.

This led us to develop software to visualise this space and be an interface to ultra-fast comparisons of crystals enabled by our invariants [5]. In this talk we will explore unusual “features” of crystal databases such as the ICSD made visible by our depictions of crystal space\, examples of nearly identical crystals represented with completely different cells and motifs [6]\, and a live example of detection of all geometric (near-)duplicates in the ICSD\, a calculation which was computationally intractable by existing methods. \n\n\n\n[4] O.Anosova\, V.Kurlin\, M.Senechal. The importance of definitions in crystallography.

SUMMARY:Generative Modeling Spring School 2026
DESCRIPTION:KEY DETAILS\n\n\n\n\nDATE23rd March 2026 – 27th March 2026 COST£400 – £1000* – further details on GEMSS website APPLICATION DEADLINE23rd January 11:59pm \n\n\n\nmore info & to apply click Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVENUE LOCATION\n\n\n\n\nImperial College London Monday to Wednesday at the South Kensington Campus Exhibition Road\, London SW7 2AZ. Thursday and Friday at White City CampusMolecular Sciences Research Hub\, White City\, London W12 0BZ. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription\n\n\n\nThe AIchemy Hub is pleased to sponsor and co-host the Generative Modelling Spring School (GEMSS) 2026 at Imperial College.GeMSS is a European spring/summer school dedicated exclusively to deep generative models\, including latent variable models\, diffusion and flow-based models\, and autoregressive generative models. It primarily attracts PhD students and researchers across Europe with an interest in generative modeling. \n\n\n\nThe school has a distinctive format: the first three days focus on intensive lectures and tutorials covering foundational concepts\, followed by invited talks on state-of-the-art generative models that highlight current research frontiers. \n\n\n\nGeMSS is aimed at PhD students working broadly in data science and AI for whom generative modeling is\, or may become\, an important component of their research. The program is designed to be relevant both for students pursuing methodological research (e.g.\, machine learning\, statistics\, and AI) and for those working in applied domains such as bioinformatics\, computational physics\, computational chemistry\, and computational social science. The school is also open to postdocs and senior researchers from academia and industry as part of their continuing training in generative AI. \n\n\n\nSubmission & Registration\n\n\n\nFull details on the application and selection process is available on the GeMSS website. \n\n\n\n\n\nLecturers\n\n\n\nThe first three days will be taught by the main lectures\, while there will be invited lectures giving tutorials the last two days.  \n\n\n\n\nJoey Bose\, Imperial College London\n\n\n\nAlbert Q.
