The Chemical Information and Computer Applications Group (CICAG) is one of the Â鶹AV’s many member-led Interest Groups, which exist to benefit Â鶹AV members and the wider chemical science community, and to meet the requirements of the Â鶹AV’s strategy and charter.

Scope and Aims

The storage, retrieval, analysis and preservation of chemical information and data are of critical importance for research, development and education in the chemical sciences. All chemists, and everybody else who works with chemical substances, need tools and techniques for handling chemical information.  
CICAG works to:

  • Support users of chemical information, data and computer applications and advance excellence in the chemical sciences
  • Inform  Â鶹AV members and others of the latest developments in these rapidly evolving areas;
  • Promote the wider recognition of excellence in chemical information and computer applications at this level. 

Activities

  • Scientific and educational meetings, some of which are at Burlington House, the Â鶹AV's London headquarters. Subject areas covered include:
    - chemical information and data management
    - chemistry IT applications and tools
    - future, present and historical developments in chemical data and information 
  • Student bursaries for undergraduate research projects and attendance of CICAG scientific and educational meetings
  • Sponsorship of the Tony Kent Strix Award and other appropriate awards and events
