As in previous Summer Schools, the first five days of the course will cover the basics of molecular simulation and the remaining four days will be devoted to more advanced courses. Course notes will be provided. In addition to the course lectures, practical sessions will take place in which students will undertake relevant computational exercises.

Basic Courses

  • An Overview of Molecular Simulation (1 lecture, CCP5 Chair - S. Parker)
  • Introduction to Practical Session (1 lecture, D. Willick, L. Lue and J. Purton)
  • Statistical Mechanics (2 lectures, D. Willock and L. Lue)
  • Molecular Dynamics (3 lectures, D. Willock)
  • Monte Carlo Methods (3 lectures, L. Lue)
  • Free Energy Methods (2 lectures, J. Anwar)
  • Optimisation Methods (1 lecture, J. Harding)
  • Introduction to Force Fields (1 lecture, J. Harding)
  • Hyperdynamics (1 lecture, J Harding)

Advanced Courses

  • First principles simulation (5 lectures, K. Refson (Royal Holloway, London))
  • Mesoscale Methods (5 lectures, I. Halliday (Sheffield Hallam University) and M. Seaton (Daresbury Laboratory))
  • Simulation of Organic and Bio Molecules (5 lectures, R. Henchman (University of Manchester), S. Khalid (University of Southampton)
