Meet CZ-OPENSCREEN at the Veletrh vědy (Science Fair), taking place on 4–6 June at PVA Letňany in Prague. The Science Fair is the largest popular science event in the Czech Republic, organized annually by the Czech Academy of Sciences since 2015. It focuses on science in all its forms and offers visitors the most interesting insights from the worlds of natural sciences, technology, humanities, and social sciences. At this event, our team will introduce visitors to the journey of discovering biologically active compounds — searching for molecules that could one day serve as the basis for new medicines. We will show how we test thousands of compounds and investigate how they influence specific biological processes. How do we find the right molecule among millions of possibilities? And how can we tell whether it has the potential to become a drug?

From October 6–9, we will participate in ChemBioParis 2025, a joint edition of the 14th Annual Conference of the International Chemical Biology Society and the 9th European Chemical Biology Symposium, taking place in Paris, France.

Organized by the International Chemical Biology Society, EuChemS, EU-OPENSCREEN, and the Société Chimique de France, this event brings together the global chemical biology community to present and discuss cutting-edge research. Our team will be presenting several posters showcasing our latest research in natural product pharmacology, compound management, compound library bio-profiling and cheminformatics.

Join us on November 25–27 for a packed schedule of talks, all given by prestigious speakers on a diversity of topics related to chemical biology and early drug discovery, including our presentation about the European Chemical Biology Database (ECBD). EU-OPENSCREEN Autumn Training School is free of charge and fully virtual, so that scientists from around the world may join the discussions. EU-OPENSCREEN Autumn Training School is for everyone with an interest in chemical biology and/or early drug discovery! Students and early-career scientists are especially welcome, to learn about the fundamentals of research in these fields and network with our distinguished guest speakers during the training Q&A sessions. Participation fee: free of charge
Our presentation about the European Chemical Biology Database (ECBD, https://ecbd.eu) will be given by Ctibor Škuta and is scheduled for Wednesday, Novemeber 27, at 9:30. In the first part of he presentation, basic concepts behind the data acquisition, description and access will be covered, including the introduction to the web user interface. In the second part, main ECBD functionality will be demonstrated during the live demo.
