DrugSpace Symposium 2026

Where Medicinal and Computational Chemistry Come Together

We are delighted to invite drug hunters, compound enthusiasts, and molecule designers back to the virtual DrugSpace Symposium. For its fifth edition, we turn the spotlight on where computational and medicinal chemistry meet, under the theme “The Path to Digital Chemistry.”

The field is moving faster than ever. New approaches to synthesis, screening, and prediction are reshaping how modern drug discovery campaigns are planned and carried out. To explore these developments, we welcome experts to share their latest research and perspectives.

The fifth DrugSpace Symposium will take place on December 9, 2026.
The program is currently being finalized, with a tentative start time of 12:00 p.m. Central European Time (CET).

Open to Every Curious Mind in Drug Discovery

Drug discovery moves forward when ideas cross disciplines and reach beyond individual labs. With that in mind, the fifth BioSolveIT DrugSpace Symposium is open to everyone interested in the path to digital chemistry, and participation is free of charge.

We welcome medicinal and computational chemists, researchers and students, decision-makers, and professionals from the pharmaceutical, crop science, and healthcare sectors. Whether you develop methods, design molecules, or put new approaches to work, we hope you will join the conversation.

Our sincere thanks go to the speakers who will share their work and to everyone who will bring their questions and perspectives to the discussions.

Certificate of Attendance

All participants will automatically receive a certificate of attendance after the symposium. You can use it to document your participation for professional training, working hours, or graduate school requirements.
