1. 2026 Spring Bohrium Scientific Research Course

Bohrium, together with the R&D team of SciMaster Scientific Research Agent, launches the 2026 Spring Bohrium Scientific Research Course. The course focuses not only on the understanding and application of scientific research agents but also on how to develop them. It helps scientific research users progress from proficient tool operation to agent construction, workflow optimization, and the improvement of systematic research capabilities.

Combining theoretical instruction with scenario-driven practical operations, the course uses real research tasks to help learners with organizational processes, agent invocation, and the experience of using agents in scientific research. Even beginners without programming knowledge can understand and develop their own scientific research agents.

Course Schedule: Starting from March 12, every Thursday at 19:00
