Abstract

In November 2020 the Royal Society of Chemistry Chemical Information and Computer Applications interest group (RSC CICAG) ran a five-day meeting entitled Open Chemical Science (https://www.rsc.org/events/detail/42090/open-chemical-science). This event had three intertwined themes, Open Data, Open Access publishing and a series of workshops highlighting a variety of Open-Source tools for chemistry. The online event proved to be enormously popular, with attendees from 45 different countries. The challenges involved in converting what was planned as a three-day physical event into a five day virtual event with three intertwined strands was recognised by the RSC with the award of the “2021 Inspirational Committee Award” (https://www.rsc.org/prizes-funding/prizes/2021-winners/rsc-chemical-information-and-computer-applications-group/). The workshops in particular proved to be enormously popular and spawned a year long series of further workshops
