Dear community,

You are invited to register and celebrate the DL_POLY project anniversary and its successes with former and current project contributors and stakeholders. The list of invited speakers is shown below.

Registration - http://shop.bris.ac.uk/conferences-and-events/faculty-of-science/chemistry/conferences-chemistry/dlpolys-25th-anniversary- is as a Day Delegate (£40) with options Anniversary Dinner (£40) and Accommodation (£85) on the premises at the Chicheley estate - https://royalsociety.org/about-us/contact-us/chicheley-hall-buckinghamshire/ .

Molecular Simulation Special Issue:
To celebrate the project anniversary we have organised a Molecular Simulation special issue "DL_POLY: Twenty five years of molecular dynamics evolution". The papers will be refereed and will focus on modelling, methodology or numerical/algorithm/software developments related to or carried out with the help of DL_POLY (or its spin-offs DL_MULTI, DL_MESO_DPD). We are looking for high standard unpublished research as well as new angle reflections and summaries of recently published research (with appropriate citations and acknowledgements to originally published work):
