Another interesting free virtual meeting from RSC-CICAG on 10 November 2020 16:00 - 12 November 2020

Huge quantities of data are generated in the chemical sciences although frequently these data are behind paywalls or protected intellectual property of organisations. Recently however there has been a tendency for more openness in scientific data in general and specifically the chemical sciences. There is now a large quantity of open data mined from the literature over decades offering new opportunities to learn from these data thereby improving scientific endeavour. However ensuring data accessibility, discovery and quality is still a major issue. The meeting will offer guidance on data curation and wrangling in order to be able to be applied effectively.

Speakers:

Dr Ed Griffen, MedChemica
Dr Kim Jelfs, Imperial College London
Dr Samantha Kanza, University of Southampton
Prof John Overington, Medicines Discovery Catapult
Prof Matthew Todd, University College London
Dr Barbara Zdrazil, University of Vienna
