Molecular Simulations in Biosystems and Material Science (SimBioMa)

Science Meeting Applications - CLOSED

Decisions on the funding of Science Meetings are taken by the Steering Committee of SimBioMa

A workshop may bring together between 10 and 50 participants for two to four days to focus on a specific issue related to SimbioMa.  A conference  with a broader impact  brings together a larger number of participants (> 50) for two to four days and consists of lectures, exchange of information and discussion on developments in a specific scientific area.. A school is directed towards graduate students who have completed a masters degree, doctoral students or the equivalent. It may bring together between 30 to 150 participants to focus on a specific issue with a clear training element. The duration of a school would normally be one to two weeks.
