About the conference 

Attendees will explore leading-edge methods, applications and research related to materials and molecular discovery. Join us to:

  • Gain an increased awareness of the fundamentals and tools for accelerated discovery including machine learning, data analysis and modelling, and laboratory automation

  • Explore novel applications and discoveries in accelerated science such as solid-state materials for energy storage, nanoparticle formulations, soft materials for electronics, organic small molecule drugs, and more. including drug discovery and delivery, solid state materials, sustainable soft materials and low-carbon structural materials, etc.

  • Discuss societal implications of accelerated science, including legal, ethical, and economic considerations

  • Explore innovative and collaborative approaches to research translation as it relates to commercialization, leadership, training, and education

    To take advantage of early-bird prices (until June 26, 2024), register now! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Acceleration Consortium team at acceleration@utoronto.ca.
