Website was updated in preparation of the 2025 ICCS!

March 2024

Final contract with the hotel was signed. P{reparing for another iteration of a great conference!

29 May 2022

The RED and BLUE poster session are scheduled below in Monday and Tuesday evening. Poster title and presenters can be found on this page.

1 May 2022

Traditionally, after the conference you are encouraged to submit your presentation/poster for publication in a special ICCS issue of the Journal of Cheminformatics (J Cheminform) scheduled to appear in early 2023. Currently the organizers are arranging a similar arrangement. We expect that papers can be submitted at any date up to December 1st, through the J Cheminform editorial management system. Authors submitting papers should mention in their cover letter that the manuscript is for the ICCS special issue and refer to the Contribution ID attached to their abstract. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed according to the J Cheminform submission guidelines.

28 April 2022

The schedule of the ICCS 2022 is now online. With 33 presentation, two poster sessions, an exhibition and already more than 100 registration, we are looking forward to seeing you all in Noordwijkerhout! Registration is open until May 25.

                 12th International Conference on Chemical Structures

      NH Leeuwenhorst Conference Hotel, Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands
                                 12-16 June 2022

Visit the conference website at https://www.iccs-nl.org for more information.

The 12th International Conference on Chemical Structures (ICCS) will be
organized in June 2022. Due to the COVID19 pandemic this conference was delayed by one year. Building on past successes of the conference series, the 2022 event will offer a strong scientific program covering all aspects of cheminformatics and molecular modeling. We encourage the submission of papers both on method and algorithm development as well as applications and case studies, especially those demonstrating the predictive power of methods by experimental validation.

For this event the ICCS is seeking presentations of novel research and
emerging technologies for the following plenary sessions:
 Cheminformatics Approaches
     o Molecular similarity and diversity
     o Mining of chemical literature and patents
     o Spectroscopy and structure elucidation
     o Reaction handling

 Structure-Activity and Structure-Property Prediction
     o Consensus and federated methods
     o Assessment of uncertainties in predictive modeling
     o Graphical methods for SAR analysis
     o Multi- and Many-objective optimization

 Structure-Based Approaches
     o Advances in molecular dynamics and free energy calculation
     o Structure-based and rational drug design
     o Modeling of protein-ligand and protein-protein recognition
     o Computer-assisted protein design/engineering

 Artificial Intelligence Approaches
     o Deep learning and sparse-data modelling
     o de novo generation
     o Representation learning
     o Synthetic accessibility and retrosynthesis approaches

 Analysis of Large Chemical Data Sets
     o Design, profiling, and comparison of compound collections
     o DNA Encoded Libraries (DEL)
     o Advances in (low-, mid- and high-level) data fusion techniques
     o Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) data

 Dealing with Biological Complexity
     o Analysis and prediction of poly-pharmacology and selectivity
     o Advances in metabolomics
     o Nanoinformatics modelling
     o Natural product drug discovery

We also welcome contributions in other aspects of the computer handling of chemical structure information, such as: automatic structure elucidation, combinatorial chemistry and diversity analysis,  electronic publishing, MM or QM/MM simulations, modeling of ADME properties, material sciences, analysis and prediction of crystal structures, grid and cloud computing in
cheminformatics.

From the submissions the program committee and the scientific advisory board will select about 30 papers for the plenary sessions. All submissions that cannot be included in the plenary sessions will be automatically considered for the poster sessions.

Visit the conference website at https://www.iccs-nl.org for more information, including details on procedures for online abstract submission and conference registration.

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is the 28th of February 2022.

We hope to see you in Noordwijkerhout!

On behalf of the organizing committee,

Gerard van Westen
