TALKS 2025: Creativity in Medicinal Chemistry

What is creativity? Are medicinal chemists creative? Are musicians creative? Are scientists creative? Can machine learning algorithms (AI) be creative? Is the degree of creativity always correlated with the quality of the outcome? Is creativity per definition a good thing? Can you learn to be creative or is it in your DNA? Are you creative? 

Center for Medicinal Chemistry invites you to join in on this inspirational afternoon where we all will try to find answers to these questions.

Drinks will be served.
