Celebrating the History of Chemical Information

Chemistry Central will be attending a one-day meeting “Celebrating the History of Chemical Information” to be held at the Royal Society of Chemistry in London on November 29th. The event, organised by the RSC Chemical Information and Computer Applications Group, the RSC Historical Group and the CSA trust, covers some important aspects of chemical information such as literature, databases, structures, etc.

The meeting will involve an excellent panel of speakers, including two Editorial Board Members from Journal of Cheminformatics. Peter Willett, professor of information science at the University of Sheffield will be discussing “Cheminformatics: historical development of database methods” and Robert Glen, Director of The Unilever Centre for Molecular Sciences Informatics at the University of Cambridge will look at the future of chemical information.

This promises to be an interesting day and we will post relevant highlights after the meeting next week.
