Cambridge Cheminformatics Network Meetings

Welcome! Here you can find (brief) information about the Cambridge Cheminformatics Network Meetings, which are free to attend and open to all. We start our meetings in the afternoon at 4pm (UK time) with a series of short scientific talks, currently in hybrid mode on Zoom (for the time being) and at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) in person.

Meetings from September 2020 onwards (which have been held online and where the presenters agreed to the recording) are available via the YouTube cheminformatics channel on demand.

For virtual participation please register using the respective Zoom link listed; for participation in person please just turn up a bit ahead of time for registration and a cup of coffee. Hope to see you at our meetings in the future! Cheers, Andreas

Speaker slots available - if you would like to present at this or a future meeting please just get in touch!
