This workshop explored the benefits of laboratory automation and opportunities to make this space more accessible for resource-limited institutions and identified ways to prepare the science, technology, engineering, and medicine workforce. Panel sessions gathered together researchers from industry, academia, and government to focus on the various aspects of automation in the chemical sciences, including the challenges and benefits of automation in industry, automation training and development of curricula in academia, and the future of automation in the industrial laboratories and universities. This publication highlights the presentation and discussion of the workshop.
