Collaborative Training with BioExcel Sample Clauses

Collaborative Training with BioExcel. We will be seeking opportunities to provide training in collaboration with other Centres of Excellence, where this would enhance the user base. In the first instance, we are planning, with BioExcel, to offer a collaborative training workshop entitled Free Energy Calculations from Molecular Simulations: Applications in Life and Medical Sciences. This two day meeting, with a particular focus on the prediction of ligand-protein binding affinities, will take place on 30-31 May 2017 (M8) and is divided into two parts. On Day One, the workshop will be limited to about 40-50 participants mainly, if not exclusively, drawn from our two Centres of Excellence (CoEs), with a focus on scientific and technical discussions pertaining to the theory, algorithms and their implementation on high performance architectures. Day Two will be a public meeting featuring speakers from both CoEs as well as other invited experts working across the full domain of theory and applications ranging across academia, industry and healthcare sectors. We will aim for a maximum of around 100 participants, and so we are advertising externally as well as within our projects. This event will be recorded and, in combination with (additional) teaching material, made publically available as a MOOC. Day 1 will be a training event, Day 2 will comprise outreach.
