IWOMI 2025 – 12. – 16. May 2025

Open Databases in Cheminformatics

About this event

The International Workshop on Open Molecular Informatics is dedicated to solving practical problems in the field through discussions and hackathons in an informal setting.

This year’s workshop will be dedicated to developing open databases in cheminformatics.

We will gather colleagues from open-source projects in molecular informatics at Schloss Korb, which is beautifully located in the Tyrolean mountains close to Bolzano. We will start on Monday evening (12. May 2025), which gives you time to travel to Schloss Korb (https://www.schloss-hotel-korb.com/) at the start of the week. The symposium will end with breakfast on Friday morning. We will fill the remaining time with hackathons, discussions, hiking and fun.

The scientific program will take place over three days and will start at 9.00 on Tuesday and end at ca. 18.30 on Thursday. You should plan to arrive on Monday before 19:00 (there is a reception :)) and depart on Friday morning after breakfast. The workshop, lunches and dinners will take place at Hotel Schloss Korb. The language of the workshop is English.
