Gromacs Workshop at CSC 2007

CSC organised together with the ISB research school a 3+1 day Gromacs workshop in Finland, Espoo. The course consists of lectures by the Gromacs developers and contributed talks of the participants. The afternoons were be spent during hands-on exercises.

This is the homepage of the three day Gromacs Workshop starting on 27th February 2007, in Espoo, Finland. (60°10'42.09"N, 24°49'58.94"E)

Lecturers

The talks and the hands-on sessions were be given by Erik Lindahl, David van der Spoel, and Berk Hess. On Tuesday and Wednesday these will be supplemented by contributed talks from the participants.

Program

The program outline is presented below. On Monday before the actual Workshop, which starts on Tuesday, there will be a basic tutorial for using Gromacs. The talk videos will be added on the site shortly.

The talks and tutorial files can be accessed also here.

The book of abstracts

The Workshop participants, the program and abstracts for the contributed talks and posters are collected in this Book of Abstracts (pdf).

If you're interested, have a look at the previous course on 2004 here: Gromacs Workshop 2004

The course is arranged in collaboration with the ISB - National Graduate School in Informational and Structural Biology.
