PLUMED tutorial announcement

[Silvia Giuliani]

Dear all,

We are proud to announce a CECAM tutorial on PLUMED.

PLUMED is an open source plugin for free-energy calculations in
molecular systems that can be interfaced, through a simple patch
procedure, with some of the most popular classical molecular dynamics
codes, including AMBER, GROMACS, NAMD and DLPOLY. With PLUMED, the
user can perform several types of calculation, including metadynamics,
umbrella sampling and steered molecular dynamics. More information on
PLUMED can be found at http://merlino.mi.infn.it/~plumed

The tutorial will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, September 28, 2010
to October 1, 2010. The list of lecturers will include Davide
Branduardi, Giovanni Bussi, Fabio Pietrucci, Massimiliano Bonomi,
Francesco Luigi Gervasio, Alessandro Laio, and Michele Parrinello.

****Strict deadline for application is May 31****

CECAM will cover hotel/meal expenses for all the participants. Since
the number of available places is limited, applicants will be selected
on the basis of their curriculum and scientific interests. Acceptance
for participation will be communicated within June 15.
