HRSMC School Molecular Simulation
This school provides an understanding of the principles underlying molecular simulation techniques and teaches how to use this knowledge to optimise simulation code.
More advanced topics of this school include molecular simulations in the various ensembles (NVE, NVT, NPT, grand canonical, etc), free energy computations, phase equilibria, rare events, configurational-bias Monte Carlo.
The school does not assume any prior knowledge of molecular simulations. However, a basic understanding of thermodynamics and statistical thermodynamics is required.

Format |
MolSim is a two-week school in molecular simulation, covering both basic and advanced Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics techniques. The morning sessions consist of lectures introducing the methods, while the afternoons are dedicated to computer exercises where these methods are applied. |
|
Audience |
The course integrates lectures and hands-on exercises and is primarily aimed at starting PhD students in the field. However, postdocs and other researchers are also welcome to attend. |
|
When? |
Organised every year in January. PhD students will register via CECAM. |
