Casale-Mini Symposium #3, November 24, 2021 - online event
«Accelarating discoveries through computational chemistry and modelling»

 
We are happy and proud to invite you the third SCS/Casale Mini-Symposium in 2021.

Theoretical and computational modelling is a tool that nowadays is fundamental to accelerating discoveries. Modelling can significantly help to bridge the results of fundamental research to actual concepts and process developments by significantly reducing timescales. Computational chemistry, machine learning and molecular modelling approaches developed over the years have been an invaluable tool to provide fast answers in fields where the experimental measurements are difficult, time consuming and costly, especially for Industries. The new computational tools available to industries and universities provide new deep insight into chemical processes, new chemical synthesis routes and molecules.

With this mini symposium Casale wants to highlight some of the research conducted in Swiss Universities in the field of computational chemistry, machine learning and molecular modelling. The mini symposium is in concomitance with the 100 Years of CASALE SA.
