Over the next few days, researchers from around the world will be gathering in Sheffield for the 9th Joint Sheffield Conference on Cheminformatics. As one of the organizers (wearing my Molecular Graphics and Modeling Society ‘hat’), I can say we have an exciting array of speakers and sessions:
- De Novo Design
- Open Science
- Chemical Space
- Physics-based Modelling
- Machine Learning
- Property Prediction
- Virtual Screening
- Case Studies
- Molecular Representations
It has traditionally taken place every three years, but despite the global pandemic it is returning this year, once again in person in the excellent conference facilities at The Edge. You can download the full programme in iCal format, and here is the conference calendar:
The meeting is jointly organized by the MGMS and Chemical Structure Association Trust (CSA Trust), as well as Prof. Val Gillet and the University of Sheffield.
The MGMS was formed in 1981 to bring together scientists working in different fields of study (such as chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, and computer science) who have a common interest in molecular modelling and graphics. It is a charity run by volunteers from both academia, non-profits, and industry who also have a keen interest in the subject. The Society’s core activities involve the organising of conferences relevant to its community, as well as developing and encouraging scientists at the start of their careers. Anyone with an interest in the field can join, and members receive discounts on conferences and courses that are organised by the Society.

The CSA Trust is an internationally recognized, registered charity which promotes education, research and development in the field of storage, processing and retrieval of information about chemical structures, reactions and compounds.

Looking forward to seeing you there! 🙂
