We are proud to announce that the Laboratory work led by CMPG’s Head of Research, Simon Rihm, was highly commended at the IChemE 2025 awards in Manchester, UK.
The award acknowledges the work done on the Digital Laboratory Framework, a knowledge-model-driven system that connects laboratory assets, software, and distributed experimental platforms via semantic interoperability and autonomous computational agents. Built upon The World Avatar™, the Digital Laboratory Framework integrates laboratory operations, data provenance, optimisation workflows, and real-time experimentation across global sites.
We see a future of accelerated discovery where laboratories operate with unprecedented autonomy and precision, driven by advanced AI and an ever-evolving universal knowledge model, all powered by The World Avatar™.
