Venue
Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden
Scope
A Nordita scientific program is an extended workshop where a limited number of scientists work together on specific topics for a period of several weeks.
This program focuses on the different methods for modeling the dynamics of biomolecular systems, ranging from force-field based all-atom representation of individual biomolecules to
coarse-grained models for multi-component systems. In particular, the link between these "complementary" modelling approaches, which cover distinct length and time scales, is of central interest.
The possibility to
bridge and move between the various methods and to integrate their
advantages to new multiscale techniques,
which allow the simultaneous investigation of
system properties at different scales, is the principal issue and
concern of the program.
Within this framework, concrete topics of focus are:
- dynamics and function of biomolecules
- self-assembly in biomolecular systems
The program intends to provide a framework for lively and intensive
exchange between scientists who combine theoretical and
computational approaches for studying biomolecular processes at different
levels of details concerning the relevant length and time scales.
It is set up in a rather casual and informal way to give ample
time for discussions and for working on particular questions that
may arise during the program.
Nordita provides a full-fledged working environment for program participants, including office space, internet access etc.

Format
The program will start with a school in the first week
(February 27 till March 2). This school is centered around "Simulation methods for
biomolecular systems" and is directed at PhD students and young
postdocs. It will focus tentatively on the following topics:
- Advanced Monte Carlo methods
- Molecular dynamics and force field in molecular simulations
- Hydrodynamic and mesoscopic simulation methods
- Multiscale methods
- Coarse-grained models of proteins
Each topic will be covered by roughly three lectures.
The program continues in the second and third weeks with talks and
discussion sessions. We aim at having two presentations a day during the
mornings, and free time for discussions and project work during the afternoons.
In parallel, there will be a poster exhibition. The poster are put up in the discussion area, where also coffee breaks take place, and are accessible during the whole program.
