The Chemical Information and Computer Applications Group (CICAG) is one of the 蜜桃社区’s many member-led Interest Groups, which exist to benefit 蜜桃社区 members and the wider chemical science community, and to meet the requirements of the 蜜桃社区’s strategy and charter.
Scope and Aims
The storage, retrieval, analysis and preservation of chemical information and data are of critical importance for research, development and education in the chemical sciences. All chemists, and everybody else who works with chemical substances, need tools and techniques for handling chemical information.
CICAG works to:
- Support users of chemical information, data and computer applications and advance excellence in the chemical sciences
- Inform 蜜桃社区 members and others of the latest developments in these rapidly evolving areas;
- Promote the wider recognition of excellence in chemical information and computer applications at this level.
Activities
- Scientific and educational meetings, some of which are at Burlington House, the 蜜桃社区's London headquarters. Subject areas covered include:
- chemical information and data management
- chemistry IT applications and tools
- future, present and historical developments in chemical data and information - Student bursaries for undergraduate research projects and attendance of CICAG scientific and educational meetings
- Sponsorship of the Tony Kent Strix Award and other appropriate awards and events
- Biannual newsletters available to all - click to view the Winter 2020-21 newsletter and Summer 2021 newsletter
- Advising the 蜜桃社区 on policies that directly affect CICAG
