 A major theme emerging from the December 2020 NIH Workshop on Ultra Large
 Chemistry Databases is the essential role of the IUPAC International
 Chemical Identifier (InChI) in our ability to link and query across large
 and diverse chemistry data resources.  Therefore, we now seek to bring
 the chemistry community together for an update on the development of the
 InChI and a discussion of its use in  chemistry, biochemistry, and
 related research domains, at the NIH Virtual Workshop on InChI, March 22-
 24, 2021.  Speakers will report on developments in the InChI field, usage
 of InChI in their organization, as well as challenges and areas not yet
 covered by InChI.  The virtual workshop is scheduled for three half-days
 on March 22-24, from 11 AM- 3PM EST and will include short talks and
 panel discussions.  Registration is free.
