The Summer School 2019 will take place at University of Durham, 8th July – 18th July 2019. Organised by CCP5 and sponsored by the CECAM, this School is intended for newcomers to the science of molecular simulation and will provide a comprehensive introduction to the methodology, practical sessions on computational methods and examples of the power and versatility of simulation methods.
Arrival Information Campus Map Timetable Registration
The Summer Schools, starts with a two day programming course Students can opt to take Python or Fortran strand, then the first five days of the course will cover the basics of molecular simulation and the remaining three days will be devoted to more advanced courses. Course notes will be provided. In addition to the course lectures, practical sessions will take place in which students will undertake relevant computational exercises.
Fees: £450 – if you are selected to attend the Summer School you will be sent a separate link to make your payment. These fees include accommodation for 11 nights (7-17 July) plus meals.
