                   ANNOUNCEMENT MOLSIM 2021

                      January 4-15, 2021

              ACMM, University of Amsterdam (NL)

MolSim-2021 is 2-week school that offers a program focusing on numerical 
techniques for the study of properties of many-particle systems.

This year's edition will be offered fully online.

The school targets PhD and postdoctoral researchers who want to learn 
these techniques to study topics in physics, chemistry or biology. The 
course may also be followed by advanced MSc students. It offers a recap 
of the statistical mechanics relevant for molecular simulation, and 
addresses basic and advanced simulation techniques including Monte 
Carlo, molecular dynamics, free energy calculations, rare events, coarse 
graining.

Lecturers include Daan Frenkel and Berend Smit, among various others 
expert in the field.

The school will have as special focus areas path sampling methods for 
rare-event simulation. These will be covered with special sessions, 
including a hands-on part for setting up path sampling for various type 
of activated processes, by experts in the field, including Peter 
Bolhuis, University of Amsterdam, NL.

All techniques will be accompanied by illustrative examples of present 
day research.

The school is open for registration.

The school has a limited capacity, though the limit remains to be set.

Course Material:

"Understanding Molecular Simulations" by Frenkel and Smit (Academic 
Press, 2002).

Lab-Course book.

The participation fee has to be fixed, but will be in the range 100-200 
Euro.

The school will be supported by CECAM and the John van Geuns Fonds.
