9th Machine Learning and AI in Bio(Chemical) Engineering Conference
06-07th July 2026
In person-only event
Machine Learning and AI in Bio(Chemical) Engineering Conference series is co-organised by researchers linked with the Innovation Centre in Digital Molecular Technologies (iDMT), at the University of Cambridge. This series of conferences grew from two collaborative research projects on robotics and automation in chemical development (Glasgow, Leeds, Cambridge, UCL and Southampton). We continue to engage with the growing academic community in digital chemistry, chemical engineering and biochemical engineering, to design each iteration of the conference. The conference will feature keynote and invited lectures from global champions of research in ML/AI in chemistry/(bio)chemical engineering, and regular lectures selected from the community submissions.
We invite interested parties to propose additional topics and to collaborated with iDMT and MIF on developing the final programme.
Register your interest in attending the event, contributing to the event, sponsoring the event by emailing idmt@ch.cam.ac.uk

Abstract Submission
The 9th International Conference on Machine Learning (ML) and AI in (bio)Chemical Engineering will take place on 06-07 July 2026. We are requesting abstracts for posters and talks related to this theme. Potential topics/submissions include but are not limited to:
​
-
Software implementations of key methods
-
Experimental case studies using ML
-
Method development, particularly those that simplify user experience
-
Benchmarking of ML and AI methods
-
AI for polymer development and property predictions
-
Machine learning in life cycle analysis and process intensification
-
Coupling AI with high-throughput experimentation or robotic platforms
-
Synergies between ML and quantum computing for chemical property predictions
Abstracts may be up to 400 words and optionally include explanatory figures. We emphasise that abstracts should include sufficient introduction for newcomers.
There are still slots for oral presentation, with a deadline of 1st June.
