The GRC on Computer-Aided Drug Design has been held every second year, starting life as the Quantitative-Structure Activity Relationships GRC in the 1970s. The chair and vice-chair usually alternate between a scientist from academia and from industry. Because computer-aided drug design covers a wide field of research, each conference focuses on the key areas areas of innovation and progress at the time, leading to a very dynamic atmosphere.

The meeting will again be held in Tilton School NH, where we have been happily accomodated for several years. The format is the usual GRC one: speakers should talk about unpublished work, with plenty of time reserved for discussion, participants will be a mix of researchers from industry and academia, of different ages, backgrounds, and from different countries. Poster sessions will offer participants the opportunity to show their work and to initiate discussion.
