After a long history of development Chemoinformatics has finally matured to a field of its own. Nevertheless it has not yet received the attention that it deserves. The goals of this workshop are : * define the scope of chemoinformatics * raise the public awareness for chemoinformatics * raise the awareness of funding agencies (national and European Union) for chemoinformatics * integrate topics of chemoinformatics into chemistry curricula * train a new generation of experts in this field

Session titles
Scientific Program The program of the workshop includes 4 half-day scientific sessions, a poster session and a general discussion at the end of the workshop.
The following main topics are selected for the scientific sessions:
1. Encoding chemical structures (e.g., safe exchange of information, descriptors, fingerprints, phramacophores).
2. Databases and data sources.
3. Property predictions (e.g., ADME, environmental related applications).
4. "In silico” design of new compounds (e.g., virtual combinatorial libraries, similarity search).
5. Drug design: Linking chemo- and bio-informatics.
6. Teaching: chemoinformatics in graduate and undergraduate curricula.
Round Table devoted to further development of the European network on chemoinformatics will be organised at the end of the afternoon session on 31 May. The questions related to organisation of regular workshops and summer schools in this field will be discussed.
