[gmx-users] 25th Molecular Modelling Workshop 2011 Announcement

[Tatyana Shubina]

Dear All,

This year, the 25th Molecular Modelling Workshop (http://www.chemie.uni-erlangen.de/ccc/conference/mmws11/) 
will take place on April, 4th to 6th. For the ninth time, the workshop will be hosted by the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. 
The research group of Professor Tim Clark at the Computer Chemistry Center will be responsible for the technical organization. 
Dr. Christian Kramer, Novartis, Basel, will be responsible for the scientific organization.

This workshop encourages young scientists - especially graduate students - to present and discuss their research topics. 
Young scientists at the beginning of their academic careers will be able to meet new colleagues from academia and gain feedback from industrial colleagues.

Contributions are welcome from all areas of molecular modeling -
from the life sciences, computational biology, computational chemistry to materials sciences.

Plenary lectures
We are pleased to announce the following three confirmed plenary speakers:

Kenneth M. Merz, Jr.	University of Florida at Gainesville
Emad Tajkhorshid	Beckman Institute, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Michele Parrinello       ETH, Zurich

Additionally, Jürgen Brickmann (Molcad GmbH, Darmstadt) will give historical overview on previous Molecular Modelling Workshops.

Oral and poster presentations
