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 cross-toolkit structure registration and normalization.
We will gather colleagues from open-source projects in molecular informatics at Schloss Korb, beautifully located in the Tyrolean mountains close to Bolzano. We will start on Monday evening (8. May 2023), 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 (8. May 2023) before 19:00 (there is a reception :)) and depart on Friday (12. May 2023) morning after breakfast. The workshop, lunches and dinners will take place at Hotel Schloss Korb.
