Open-Source Tools for Chemistry Workshops
Last year RSC CICAG held a five day conference entitled Open
Chemical Science this online event proved to be enormously
popular with attendees from 45 different countries. One feature of
the meeting was a series of workshops highlighting a number of
open-source software tools, these workshops are now available on
There was considerable interest in including further workshops and
so CICAG have started a monthly workshop series, each month a
workshop will be held highlighting a particular package/resource.
The first four workshops are now organised. More details here and
you can register for free here.
Scope and Aims
The storage, retrieval, analysis and preservation of chemical
information and data are of critical importance for research,
development and education in the chemical sciences. All chemists,
and everybody else who works with chemical substances, need tools
and techniques for handling chemical information.
CICAG works to:
•
support users of chemical information, data and computer
applications and advance excellence in the chemical
sciences
•
inform RSC members and others of the latest developments
in these rapidly evolving areas;
•
promote the wider recognition of excellence in chemical
information and computer applications at this level.
Support for Attending Meetings
CICAG is committed to supporting attendance at our meetings in as
many ways as possible.
We always ensure that the venue supports wheelchair access and
that any meals accommodate any dietary requirements that have
been gathered on registration.
We offer student bursaries to help cover registration, travel, and
accommodation if required. These are detailed on the individual
conference pages. If you are making a particularly lengthly journey
and need additional help please get in touch and we will see what
we can do to help.
There are also travel grants both for students and early career
scientists to attend conferences or workshops.
A recent addition are awards for carers. Caring responsibilities are
wide and varied, but they can sometimes be hard to balance
alongside attending conferences.
