3-5 June
Helmholtz-Institute Mainz
The automation of research laboratories in the chemical and biological sciences has advanced significantly in recent years. Yet, many experimental workflows remain labor-intensive, and the diversity and complexity of tasks often makes implementing automation costly and time-consuming. Emerging innovations in engineering and artificial intelligence promise a new era of versatility, with the potential of fundamentally transforming how research is conducted. This workshop brings together leading international scientists who are driving progress in laboratory automation, providing a platform for knowledge exchange and cross-disciplinary collaboration. We invite you to share your perspectives, challenges, and solutions with others developing and applying new technologies in laboratory automation.
Please register here by May 5. If you wish to present a poster/short talk, please submit your abstract via Converia by April 15. The number of participants is limited and applicants are encouraged to register without delay.
