How might we revolutionize the field of chemistry, and far beyond, with a new National Center for Automated Chemical Synthesis and Democratized Molecular Innovation?

Save the date to help us find out!

What: Join us as we bring together experts in automated synthesis and data science with leading researchers in chemistry and many of its synergistic disciplines (including computer science, engineering, robotics, biotechnology and physics) to learn and be inspired from highly impactful models in other areas, and to creatively discuss the vision, function, and design of this potentially transformative new facility.

When: June 7-8, 2022

Where: Beckman Institute
University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
405 N. Mathews Ave.
Urbana, IL 61801

*A virtual option will be provided for those unable to travel.

Day 1 is dedicated to gathering inspiration from analogies, with sessions to learn from leaders in developing complex systems at scale, creating an energized community, and creating demand, followed by a collective brainstorm about what this new facility could DO. What can we draw from the leaders of Minecraft, Gingko Bioworks, RoboCup Federation, Nobel Turing Challenge, Aero, 100kin10, and L'Oreal, and to dream BIG and set ourselves up for success?
