A two-day workshop on X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy — organized by CNR — ICMATE with Thermo Fisher Scientific and Gambetti Kenologia and hosted at the Dept. of Chemical Sciences of the University of Padova.

Two days dedicated to X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) — a powerful surface-analysis technique delivering quantitative elemental and chemical-state information from the top few nanometres of materials. A programme of presentations, applications, and a live demonstration of the Thermo Scientific™ ESCALAB™ QXi.

SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE: Dr. Marzio Rancan CNR — ICMATE, Padova; Dr. Gregorio Bottaro CNR — ICMATE;,Padova; Prof. Lidia Armelao CNR - DSCTM and University of Padova; Dr. Paolo Carrozzo G. Gambetti Kenologia Srl

Chemistry through the eyes of AI and ML: a school to show how artificial intelligence and machine learning are changing chemistry and material science

The international school stems from a joint proposal  of the Physical Chemistry Division, the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Division of the Società Chimica Italiana.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming chemistry and materials science by accelerating drug discovery, guiding molecular and materials design, enhancing predictive accuracy across scales, and enabling data-driven insights that reshape theory, experiment, and applications.

The purpose of the school is to equip participants with the basic and theoretical foundations of AI and ML, while showcasing real-world applications in many branches of chemistry and materials science and offering, when feasible, hands-on sessions for practical experience.

The school will feature internationally recognized scientists in the fields of AI and ML as lecturers, ensuring participants learn directly from leading experts in both theory and application.

A maximum 50 participants will be admitted. Enrollment will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis (by registration date). An overbooking list is maintained in case of new seats will become available due to cancellation. Bursary support waiving the registration fee is also available upon request after evaluation from the organizing committee. 

Bologna, 19 - 22 maggio 2026

Per la partecipazione al congresso sono previste borse di studio a copertura completa della quota di iscrizione. L’organizzazione del congresso cercherà di garantire ampio spazio per comunicazioni orali, offrendo così una buona visibilità e creando le condizioni per nuove e fruttuose collaborazioni.
