Dear Colleague,

Organised by CCP5 and sponsored by CECAM, the School is intended for
newcomers to the science of molecular simulation and will provide a
comprehensive introduction to the theoretical background as well as
practical sessions on computational methods and research seminars to
illustrate the versatility of simulation in modern research. There
will also be opportunities for participants to present their own
research.

The Summer School starts with a two-day programming course, where
students can opt to take either Python or modern Fortran. After this
preparation, the first five days of the main School will cover the
basics of molecular simulation, and the remaining three days will be
devoted to more advanced courses with options in mesoscale, ab initio,
Machine Learning and Interatomic Potential and biomolecular
simulation. Course notes will be provided in electronic format. In
addition to the lectures, there will be extensive practical sessions
in which students will undertake computational exercises to reinforce
and further explore the material.

The school will take place between 11th and 22nd of July 2021 online.

A fee of £50 to cover part of the expenses will be charged to
successful applicants. The school has 50 to 100 places available.
Successful applicants from last year’s delayed summer school will have
an automatic reserve for this year’s online school and they will be
receiving an email about this.

Please note The school can be recognized towards your doctoral
training in UK, also upon request we can provide a letter for ECTS
credits for your school.
