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. Please visit https://www.gdch.de/gcc2020 for abstract submission and registration. And please save the date for GCC 2021/EuroSAMPL: Oct 31 - Nov 4, 2021 in Mainz/Germany!

Andr s Cisneros" [andres~!~unt.edu] Dear Colleague, It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the #LatinXChem 2020 Twitter Conference, the first event organized by the LatinXChem initiative. LatinXChem was created in June 2020 as a virtual forum to bring together and showcase research carried out by the LatinXChem community across the world. The #LatinXChem 2020 Twitter Conference will take place entirely over Twitter and will include eleven categories across chemistry. The conference will begin at 12:00 UTC on the 7th of September, 2020 and have a duration of 24h. Advantages 1. #LatinXChem 2020 is FREE OF CHARGE. 2. Participants can register in more than one category. 3. Participants can take part in the activity regardless of where they are. 4. Being an online event, it has a low environmental footprint. How to participate: 1. Register your poster at https://forms.gle/Kz2vkvhKFVieN7BG6. 2. On the day of the event, tweet your poster with the title, including a LatinXChem #LatinXChem2020, and relevant subject hashtag(s). Posters can be presented in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. 3. Throughout the event, share and discuss your work with other participants, answering the questions from the community and jury. For more information please visit: www.latinxchem.org or https://twitter.com/LatinXChem. We kindly ask you to spread the word about this initiative among colleagues. This activity is supported by the Royal Society of Chemistry, Chemical Science, the American Chemical Society, the Brazilian Chemical Society and Wiley, through ChemNanoMat and Chemistry Europe Sincerely,
