CCL: 16th German Conference on Cheminformatics (GCC) and SAMPL workshop

 Sent to CCL by: "Stefan  G  ssregen" [stefan.guessregen!=!sanofi.com]
 Dear colleagues and friends,
 The division Computers in Chemistry (CIC) of the German Chemical Society
 (GDCh) cordially invites you to participate in and contribute to the 16th
 German Conference on Cheminformatics (GCC) and the SAMPL satellite
 workshop:
 GCC 2020: Nov 2-3, 2020
 SAMPL: Nov 4, 2020
 As announced earlier, the current situation forced us to resort to a purely
 virtual format for both GCC and the SAMPL workshop (originally termed
 "EuroSAMPL" as it was planned to be hosted as in-person meeting in
 Germany), which nevertheless provides an attractive platform for presenting
 and discussing exciting new research.
 The GCC reflects and highlights the important role of cheminformatics,
 which connects the modern information and data-driven world with
 computational modelling of molecular systems. It spans a wide range of
 subjects related to the use of computers in chemistry, pharmacy, materials
 science and biology; from informatics and data science to atomistic
 modelling, and from fundamental academic research to industrial
 applications.
 The scientific programme will include software workshops, contributed
 lectures (25+5 min), research telegrams (12+3 min), and - in parallel
 sessions - very brief "flash talks" (3+2 min to be held twice, open to
 everyone) instead of a poster session. Young academics (Ph.D. students
 only) are encouraged to select the format of research telegrams as an
 opportunity to present the highlights of their research to a wider
 audience. Ph.D. student submissions as full talks will compete against all
 contributions in this category and cannot be changed to the research
 telegram format if declined.
 Monday, Nov 2:
 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (CET) - Workshop Sessions
 01:00 p.m.-06:00 p.m. (CET) - GCC Lectures
 06:00 p.m.-open end (CET) - Flash Talk Discussions
 Tuesday, Nov 3:
 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (CET) - Workshop Sessions
 01:00 p.m.-04:30 p.m. (CET) - GCC Lectures
 04:30 p.m.-05:15 p.m. (CET) - CIC Award
 05:30 p.m.-open end (CET) - Breakout Mentoring Dinners
 Wednesday, Nov 4:
 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. (CET) - Workshop Session
 01:00 p.m.-09:00 p.m. (CET) - SAMPL Lectures
 The conference contains slots for software workshops. Our sponsors will
 introduce the latest software developments to the participants. If you are
 interested in providing workshops or sponsoring please contact Dr. Stefan
 Gssregen at gcc-exhibition=chemoinformatics.info.
 For contributed talks there will be sessions on:
 * Cheminformatics and Drug Discovery
 * Big Data and Deep Learning
 * Chemical Information and Databases
 * Modelling, Simulation and Design
 * Protein Structure and Modelling
 * Property Prediction
 The SAMPL satellite workshop will encompass invited lectures and
 contributions from participants at the recent SAMPL blinded challenge on
 predicting protein-ligand and guest-host properties as well as, depending
 on upcoming challenge deadlines, small molecule properties. This will give
 participants the opportunity to present and learn about state-of-the-art
 computational methodology benchmarked against high-quality experimental
 data. SAMPL lectures will take place from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. (CET) to ease
 participation of North and South American residents.
 The conference language is English. Links to Zoom sessions will be sent to
 registered participants shortly before the conference starts.
 Conference fees:
 - GCC/SAMPL bundle or GCC separately*: 20 EUR
 - SAMPL separately: free of charge
 *The registration fees are not liable to value added tax (tax exemption
 additional  4 Nr. 22a UStG).
 Important dates:
 - Abstract submission (lectures, telegrams, flash talks): Aug 31, 2020
 - Registration is possible until the beginning of the conference.
