More About Program Overview
Accelerate is designed to showcase the latest methods, applications and research in accelerated materials and molecular discovery. Through workshops and talks, posters and small group sessions, attendees will explore topics across our three content tracks:
- Fundamental discovery and leading-edge tools: Deep and machine learning algorithms for AI-aided experimental design, quantum-based materials simulations and optimized structure-function models, chemical synthesis and materials characterization, chemical ontologies and materials databases, and robotics and control systems
- Sustainable materials for a resilient world: Development of solid-state materials, sustainable soft materials, low-carbon structural materials, small molecule drugs, etc.
- Designing a translation ecosystem: Leadership in commercialization, training, and education

Accelerate Un-ConferenceFriday, September 2
Curious to learn more, email us.
During the un-conference, the script is flipped! Attendees are welcome to brainstorm meeting and discussion ideas for the final day of the conference. As ideas emerge for Unconference themes throughout the conference, share them on the collective whiteboard. This is an opportunity to meet with collaborators old and new, have a write-a-thon on white papers, hack a programming project, brainstorm new projects and initiatives, and more.
Visit slido.com and enter the code ACCEL (not case-sensitive) into the code field or scan the QR code on this page to submit session topics on any of the first 3 days of the conference. Topics will be organized after the closing keynote and posted Friday morning for the informal sessions.
