In the summer of 2021, AI3SD teamed up with the Directed Assembly Network to run a virtual summer school on Machine Learning 4 Materials & Chemicals which encompass our overlapping Network interests of AI, Machine Learning, Artificial Photosynthesis, Biomimetic Materials, Crystal Design & Engineering, Materials, Molecules, Photochemistry, Photocatalysis and Supramolecular Chemistry. 

The summer school events were run every tuesday afternoon between the 6th July-24th August. The sessions were run privately for the summer school participants, however where the speakers gave permission for their talks to be made public we have added them to our AI3SD YouTube Channel. Please note the table below contains links to videos all of all of the speakers who gave permission for their talks to be shared, it is not an exhaustive list of the summer school speakers.

The full YouTube playlist for this Seminar Series can be found here: ML4MC Seminar Series Playlist
