ChemAI

The event where Chemistry meets Artificial Intelligence

The world of AI and Machine Learning opens endless possibilities to chemists and material scientists, but it can feel like an uncharted territory. That is why we asked our 2025 Partners to offer workshops and educational sessions, open to all and free of charge.

<h3>1) Elements of AI: A crash course for chemists</h3>Artificial intelligence is rapidly shaping the way chemistry and materials science are practiced — but where do you start if you have no background in AI? This session offers a clear, accessible introduction to the basic concepts of AI, tailored for chemists and materials researchers. Through simple, real-world examples and use cases, participants will learn how AI can help in areas like data analysis, reaction prediction, and materials design. No coding or prior expertise required — just curiosity and a willingness to explore how AI can become a practical tool in your lab.<ul><li>by Prof. Bernd Ensing (University of Amsterdam)</li><li>November 17 - 15:00-17:00 CET</li><li>Amsterdam Science Park &amp; Online</li></ul> <h3>2) No Code, No Problem: Conversational Materials Science with ChatGPT</h3>Exploring and analyzing materials data no longer requires advanced coding skills. In this session, Dr. Kamal Choudhary introduces the ChatGPT Material Explorer, an open-source tool that lets researchers and students interact with materials science datasets through natural language. From querying materials properties to generating insights and visualizations, the platform lowers the barrier to entry for computational materials research. Join to see how conversational AI can accelerate discovery, enable broader participation, and open new doors in materials innovation.<ul><li>by Ass. Prof. Dr. Kamal Choudhary (NIST &amp; Johns Hopkins University)</li><li>November 18 - 15:00 CET</li><li>Online</li></ul> <h3>3) AlphaFold Unfolded: How Protein Structure Prediction Actually Works</h3>"From accelerating drug discovery to unlocking new protein functions, AlphaFold is reshaping research. We will cover the basics of how it works, showcase real-world applications in biology and chemistry, and provide practical tips for using it effectively during an easy-to-follow hands-on session. During the final "Discussions and Networking" session, you will have the opportunity to connect with us and other participants to discuss the future of computational biology and molecular design.<ul><li>by Ass. Prof. Dr. Halima Mouhib (VU Amsterdam) and Dr. Gustavo Stolf Jeuken (VU Amsterdam)</li><li>November 19 - 15:00-17:00 CET</li><li>Online</li></ul> <h3>4) Trends in AI 4 Chemistry: Talk Show by Zeta-Alpha</h3> Artificial intelligence is transforming the pace and practice of research across chemistry, life sciences, and pharma. In this special live edition of Trends in AI, Jakub Zavrel (CEO, Zeta Alpha) and Dinos (AI Researcher, Zeta Alpha) will explore how large language models and autonomous agents are reshaping scientific discovery, from generating new hypotheses to accelerating experimentation and supporting researchers’ daily workflows.Through real-world examples and discussion, the session will cover how close today’s AI systems are to genuine scientific reasoning, what tools are already making a difference in labs, and where the next breakthroughs may emerge. For those joining in person, the event will conclude with informal networking and drinks, an opportunity to exchange ideas and questions with fellow researchers and the speakers.<ul><li>by Jakub Zavrel (CEO, Zeta Alpha) and Dinos Papakostas (AI Researcher, Zeta Alpha)</li><li>November 20 – 17:00 CET</li><li>Lab42 (Room L3.35) &amp; Online</li></ul>Sign-up link: <a href="https://luma.com/trends-in-ai-november-2025" title="https://luma.com/trends-in-ai-november-2025" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://luma.com/trends-in-ai-november-2025</a> <h3>5) Active Learning Symposium 2025</h3><ul><li>organized by Dr. Jakub Zeitler (Matterhorn Studio)</li><li>November 24 - 15:00 CET</li><li>Register at "<a href="https://active-learning.uk" title="https://active-learning.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Active Learning Symposium 2025</a>" - Online</li></ul>
