Accepted papers\/abstracts will appear in the ICANN2025 proceedings. The authors of accepted articles\/abstracts will be invited to submit new or updated papers to a special issue of <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.rsc.org\/dd\/2025\/04\/04\/workshop-ai-in-drug-discovery-icann25\/\">Digital Discovery<\/a> (including 25% discount on the publication fee) before end of December 2025. Notice that all submissions for this SI should be full research papers, with an emphasis on novelty in methodology. If any of the work has been previously published as an abstract, it will not pose an issue, provided that the full paper includes all necessary details for replication, including data and code. If the full paper has been published, the journal submission should be significantly expanded or revised. A journal article should provide additional value beyond what was published in the conference proceedings and should include substantial new material or findings that were not part of the conference version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ORGANIZERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Dr. Igor V.
