Outreach
Community outreach is very important to us at AIME, and we update this page regularly with ongoing outreach activities in the group.
Rocío, together with Simon Olsson, co-organizes the monthly AI4Science seminar series at Chalmers, where early- to mid-career researchers working at the interface of AI and a scientific domain are invited to present their work and meet with researchers at Chalmers. The AI4Science seminar is generously funded by the Chalmers AI Research Center (CHAIR). You can learn more about the AI4Science seminar series and sign up for the newsletter here. You can also check out the YouTube channel to watch recorded talks from previous speakers. Two talks are already lined up for the Fall 2026 schedule, both 3–4pm in EDIT Analysen, followed by fika:
The 4th annual Structured Learning Workshop will be held at Chalmers in the Fall 2026. Visit the event page for more details. We are looking forward to the event! You can learn more about the CHAIR Structured Learning Theme on the CHAIR webpage, and check out event pages from previous years: 2023, 2024, 2025.
Rocío is on the organizing committee for the Digital Chemistry for Discovery Faraday Discussion, to be held in Edinburgh on September 8–10, 2027. The Discussion will bring together the community working on digital chemical discovery, across both computation and experiment, spanning machine learning for chemistry, automation and robotics, and self-driving labs. As with all Faraday Discussions, accepted oral presentations are accompanied by a full research paper published in Faraday Discussions, and the meeting itself is built around discussion of those papers. We are currently soliciting abstracts for oral presentations, until 14 December 2026. Please see the event page for guidelines. We hope to see many of you in Edinburgh!
Rocío co-organized the 2nd edition of the ML2MD Symposium with Chao Zhang (Uppsala University), held at Uppsala University on June 17–19, 2026. The event brought together researchers working at the intersection of machine learning, materials science, and molecular discovery. The symposium was generously supported by the Wenner-Gren Foundations and the COST Action DAEMON. You can still visit the event page for more details.
Rocío co-organized a workshop on AI for accelerated materials design at NeurIPS 2025 (previously also at ICLR 2025). To learn more, please see the event website.
