AI Infused Sustainable Manufacturing Symposium

Organised by:

Chemistry Hub (AIchemy) and the Sustainable Chemicals and Materials Manufacturing Hub (SCHEMA)

SCI, London, UK

This event is now closed for registration.

Synopsis

Join the AI for Chemistry Hub (AIchemy) and the Sustainable Chemicals and Materials Manufacturing Hub (SCHEMA) for a one-day symposium. This in-person event brings together both AIchemy and SCHEMA Hubs to explore new AI methods and digitalisation strategies and their integration with the design and manufacturing of sustainable chemicals and materials.

Both Hubs are developing advanced digital & AI techniques to transform chemistry and chemical manufacturing. Alchemy, specifically, is dedicated to revolutionising chemistry through AI encompassing machine learning, automation, robotics, and digitalisation across molecules, materials, and devices. SCHEMA will integrate digital and information technologies into sustainable manufacturing, which is at the core of its “Integrate digital technologies to maximise sustainability and resilience” Grand Challenge. With aligned objectives and ambitious goals this symposium will bring together two nationally leading Hubs to build ideas, discuss challenges, and identify collaborative approaches to the manufacturing of sustainable chemicals and materials.
