About it

The secod edition, in 2022 (planned in 2020 but postponed due the COVID pandemic), took place in a mixed format, being conceived as a school and a congress. The school  focused on advanced simulation techniques, including metadynamics and alchemical free energy calculations. One local and one international lecturer oversaw the school. The congress featured also seminars delivered by researches of the Bogotá area and others from Germany, Uruguay and Chile, with the aim of sharing experiences and knowledge and to foster collaborations between different groups. About 70 participants from all over Colombia attended the event, which also included a poster session.

Courses

  1. "Free Energy Perturbation method for drug discovery" by Pietro Vidossich, Italian Institute of Technology, Genoa (Italy).
  2. "Advanced Molecular Dynamics simulations techniques" by Gilles Pieffet- Universidad Antonio Nariño, Bogotá (Colombia).
