31st Molecular Modelling Workshop 2017     MGMS Logo
 



 

Circular

The 31st Molecular Modelling Workshop will take place on March, 27th to 29th 2017. The workshop will be hosted by the University Erlangen-Nuremberg and co-organised by the Central Institute for Scientific Computing (ZISC). The research groups of Prof. Tim Clark at the Computer-Chemistry-Center and Prof. Heinrich Sticht (Institute for Biochemistry) will be responsible for the technical organization.

 

This year, Dr. Stefan Güssregen (Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH) is responsible for the scientific content of the meeting.

 

 

This workshop encourages young scientists - especially graduate students - to present and discuss their research topics. Young scientists at the beginning of their academic careers will be able to meet new colleagues from academia and gain feedback from industrial colleagues.

 

 

 

 The conference fee amounts to 100 Euro (Students: 50 Euro). If you do not disagree, the fee includes the annual membership fee for the MGMS-DS e.V.. (Only payment in cash at the registration desk is possible.)

 

Contributions are welcome from all areas of molecular modeling -
from the life sciences, computational biology and chemistry, cheminformatics, to materials sciences.

Oral and poster presentations

To give also the poster presenters the opportunity to have a look at the other presentations there will be two poster sessions.
Several reasons have prompted us to introduce English as the official workshop language. (Oral presentations may still be given in German. However, please prepare slides in English in this case.) Oral presentations should not exceed 25 minutes (including discussion); posters should be prepared in portrait format (max. 90x140cm).

 

 

The deadline for registration and submission of abstracts for oral and poster presentation is
February 24th, 2017.

Only online registration is possible.

Please submit abstracts for oral and poster presentation (one page DIN A4 format) no later than February 24th by e-mail to mmws@mgms-ds.de. Please use this Word template or this OpenDocument template for abstract preparation and send it as PDF (print-ready) to mmws@mgms-ds.de.

 

 

Awards

As in the past years, there will be two Poster Awards of 100 Euro each and three Lecture Awards for the best talks:

  • Winner: 500 Euro plus a speaker slot option at the Young Modellers Forum in London, organized by the MGMS-UK.
  • 2nd Winner: 200 Euro
  • 3rd Winner: 100 Euro
