Recently, the University of Amsterdam initiated its Research Priority Area on AI for Sustainable Molecules and Materials. On Thursday afternoon, 30 May 2024, a festive kick-off meeting will be organized for research staff, students and external guests who are working in this field already, as well as researchers interested in learning about this new vibrant field of science. Especially for the latter, the program contains inspiring showcases and matchmaking activities.
