Description

This 3-day event focuses on multiscale atomistic simulations using CP2K and GROMACS on High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster system.

The topics covered are fundamental concepts and advanced techniques in classical molecular dynamics (MD), ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD), and hybrid QM/MM methods for modeling biomolecular systems, complex materials, and chemical reactions.
