Synthetic chemistry needs to embrace new ways to carry out and monitor reactions. Although there are advanced reaction platform technologies available (both commercially and developed by groups engaged with Dial-a-Molecule) and benefits have been proven, there are still barriers to overcome before their wider adoption, with the cost of acquisition of commercially produced platforms a significant factor. To advance the themes above we will:<\/p>\n<p>(i) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Create a virtual pool of advanced reaction platforms that can be accessible by members and ultimately the wider synthetic chemistry community by linking laboratories which develop and \/ or possess automated equipment with potential end-user groups and brokering access (e.g. using Interdisciplinary Mobility funding). We will also help to disseminate case studies to demonstrate the advantages of automation.<\/p>\n<p>(ii) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Provide forums for suppliers and potential users of equipment and software to interact (e.g. our Technology Showcase meetings, and though continued interaction with the UK Automated Synthesis Forum).<\/p>\n<p>(iii) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Run meetings to expose current trends and recent developments in the above areas, identify opportunities, and link developers and users together to form consortia to develop grant applications to advance and apply the technology.<\/p>\n<p>(iv) \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If cost viable, fund deployment of systems in a range of \u2018user\u2019 laboratories to help build the case for commercialisation or further development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T2:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Enabling Technologies for Synthesis. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Lead by Steve Christie and Richard Bourne.
