Minutes of networking breaks
Two 50-minute breaks make room for the conversations that short coffee queues cannot.
WORLD AI READY / AN ESCOM EVENTS CONFERENCEAI for Science
AI for Science
Asia 2027.
From scientific possibility to reproducible progress.
Scientific models. Experimental evidence. Research that moves forward.
Conceptual scientific artwork · Not a representation of an actual experiment
THE NEXT SCIENTIFIC DECISIONMove beyond the model.
Move beyond the model.
Make discovery tangible.
AI for Science Asia brings researchers, laboratory leaders, technology builders and industry decision-makers together to examine how AI can improve scientific discovery. The programme connects advances in scientific models with the work required to use them: reliable data, experimental validation, compute, reproducibility and research partnerships. Across materials, chemistry, biology and engineering, the focus is on evidence that can move from a model to a real scientific outcome.
Leave with a sharper view of which AI-enabled research workflows are ready to test, how to evaluate them and who to collaborate with.
Minutes per company demo
One workflow, clear evidence and a strict handover. Follow up with the people who matter.
Decision-led panels
Discussion around practical trade-offs, with curated questions and multiple perspectives.
01 / THE RESEARCH AGENDAA wider lens.
A wider lens.
A sharper test.
Explore the shared challenges across materials, chemistry, biology and engineering, without losing the depth of each discipline.
Scientific foundation models and domain-specific reasoning
How to assess capabilities, domain fit and failure modes before committing a research workflow.
AI-guided materials and chemical discovery
Connect candidate generation to physical measurements and experimental feedback.
Self-driving laboratories and closed-loop experimentation
Explore the systems, controls and human oversight behind autonomous experimentation.
Scientific data quality, provenance and reproducibility
Build traceable datasets and evidence that other teams can test and reuse.
Physics-informed modelling and scientific simulation
Combine learned models with scientific constraints and established numerical methods.
Research compute, infrastructure and sustainable scaling
Match infrastructure choices to research needs, cost and reproducibility requirements.
Research translation, intellectual property and industry partnerships
Align incentives, rights and responsibilities across organisations.
Responsible deployment and the limits of scientific AI
Recognise uncertainty, evaluate risks and define where human judgement remains essential.

Networking break
50 minutes to continue technical conversations and meet relevant partners.
Decision Panel · Who owns the next scientific breakthrough?
Industry–university collaboration, data rights, intellectual property, funding and shared infrastructure.
Working Roundtables · Your next research workflow
Choose a discussion on experimental validation, data readiness, lab automation or translation partnerships.
Private networking sessions
Opt-in small-group and one-to-one introductions. Scheduling and participation are subject to mutual consent.
Closing synthesis
What to test next, what evidence to demand and how to continue the conversation on Day 2.
Company demos are 10 minutes each with no standalone Q&A. Academic Research Spotlights have a separate editorial format. Panel questions are curated by the moderator.
LESS PRESENTING. MORE PROGRESS.Choose the format
Choose the format
that fits the evidence.
We welcome research leaders, scientific founders, pharma and biotech practitioners, laboratory teams and implementation leaders. Propose a research spotlight, panel contribution or ten-minute Innovation Demo. Submissions will be assessed for evidence, relevance and practical value. A commercial relationship does not guarantee an editorial speaking slot.
Prepare a speaker proposalResearch Spotlight
20 minutesAn academic or non-company scientific contributor explains one important advance, its evidence and limitations. All company-affiliated solo presentations are limited to ten-minute Innovation Demos.
Innovation Demo
10 minutes per companyShow one use case, one workflow and measurable evidence. Strict handover to the next presenter, with no standalone Q&A. Continue the conversation during networking.
Decision Panel
40 minutesA moderated conversation built around a real decision, conflicting evidence and practical trade-offs. Audience questions are curated within the panel.
Working Roundtables
30 minutesSmall-group discussion around a defined challenge, producing a short list of next actions rather than another slide presentation.
