Dear reader,

BioExcel is proud to announce our new partnership with Software Sustainability Institute (SSI). Since 2010, the Software Sustainability Institute has facilitated the advancement of research software and led on best software practices. Through this initiative, we hope to work towards activities supporting the goals of both BioExcel and the SSI.

This month, the BioExcel QM/MM Survey was launched to gather input from researchers who perform biomolecular simulations and whose experience using QM/MM ranges from zero experience to expert active users.

And finally, the programme is now live for the BioExcel Summer School with an amended application deadline of 10 April. Visit our website to have a look at the covered topics and trainer list.

QM_MM survey

Do you have experience using QM/MM?

BioExcel is currently developing an interface between GROMACS and the quantum chemistry package CP2K to facilitate adoption of QM/MM simulation. We invite researchers with biomolecular simulation experience to fill out the survey as your thoughts and opinions will help guide the development of the QM/MM community through training, support and relevant community events. All responses are anonymous and results will be made available later in the year. The survey will close on 1st April.
