advance the aims of the Grand Challenge. \u00a0We have devoted a session to give\u00a0researchers the opportunity\u00a0to showcase this technology.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u00a0Membrane Catalytic

Advanced reactor platforms (both commercial and self-built) are available but cost of acquisition and integration with existing analytical instruments is a barrier to widespread adoption. In this session, we will identify the current trends and developments in automation and control, and suggest mechanisms to lower the cost of automation<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Reactions with Impac<\/strong>t:\u00a0UK chemistry has significant knowledge that is not being captured and in some instances academia may be designing the \u2018wrong\u2019 reactions. This session will ask academics and industrialists the questions: What reactions are considered important? What popular and useful reactions are flawed and why? What reactions would we like to be able to do? How can we recognise reactions with impact at their first publication?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Parallel Discussion and Collaboration Session C<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ELNs: Adoption and Data Standards<\/strong>:\u00a0Since its inception, Dial-a-Molecule have been advocating the adoption of ELN\u2019s in to academic laboratories. Five years on, their use in laboratories is still scarce. This session will discuss what synthetic chemists want, why they aren\u2019t being adopted, and what can be done to alter the situation. This session will also include updates on recently released ELN\u2019s, and the development of a set of data standards to enable academic bench chemists to capture reaction processes in a standardised form<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enabling New Chemistry with Flow:<\/strong>\u00a0Flow machines are now a common feature in many chemistry laboratories, and are finding increased usage in, for example\u00a0reagentless synthesis. This session will follow on from \u2018New Reactions with Impact\u201d, discussing how flow can be used to enable new chemistry, for example by utilising\u00a0photochemical and electrochemical techniques.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Statistical Methods in Chemistry Research:<\/strong> \u00a0Academia has been slow to adopt the use of statistical methods (e.g. design of experiments, PCA) in chemistry research \u00a0and Dial-a-Molecule has been active in developing projects to increase the deployment of such techniques. \u00a0In this session we will discuss and define routes to increase the awareness and understanding of the tools through educational activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"color: #489ed5\"><strong>June 2015, University of Warwick<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nOur annual\u00a0showcase of all things Dial-a-Molecule, including updates from Network inspired projects, breakout discussions and a technology showcase<\/p><p><a class=\"more-link btn\" href=\"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/chemical-synthesis-in-the-21st-century-annual-meeting-2015-2\/\">Continue reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1958,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[20,21,40,48,52],"class_list":["post-2887","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-phase_1_2-events","tag-annual-meeting","tag-bursary","tag-events","tag-meetings","tag-news","nodate","item-wrap"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/sites\/50\/2012\/10\/DaM-CrossDisc-tagCloud.png?fit=803%2C341&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":false,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6CjJ1-Kz","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2887","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2887"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2887\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3143,"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2887\/revisions\/3143"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1958"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2887"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2887"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/generic.wordpress.soton.ac.uk\/dial-a-molecule\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2887"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
