8th SCS-Syngenta Symposium 2026

8<sup>th</sup> SCS-Syngenta Symposium 2026

The 2026 edition will explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the practice of chemistry. AI-augmented chemistry amplifies human expertise, empowering researchers to navigate infinite chemical spaces, identify non-obvious solutions, and focus their creative energy on where it matters most.

Start Date 22.10.2026 - 08:30
Event End 22.10.2026 - 17:00
Location Syngenta Research Center
Schaffhauserstrasse 101, 4332 Stein AG, Switzerland
IOur program highlights these breakthroughs, featuring generative models for small molecule generation, de novo protein design, AI-guided retrosynthesis and cutting-edge machine learning approaches to property prediction. These technical sessions are grounded in real-world examples of how augmented workflows are currently accelerating discovery in both academic and industrial settings.
