Principal Organiser - Charlie Laughton

The second annual meeting of CCP-BioSim will be held at the Engineering and Science Learning Centre, University of Nottingham, from Monday 25th to Wednesday 27th March 2013. The aim is to provide a forum where everyone interested in applying biomolecular simulation techniques to their work – not just experts - can get practical information to enhance their research.

We are grateful for a contribution from MGMS towards supporting student attendance at the meeting, details below.

The maximum size for posters is A0 for portrait orientation, or A1 for landscape orientation.

In addition to regular poster-sessions we have arranged poster-pitches sessions at the beginning of the conference. You will have a maximum of 2 minutes to present the topic of your research to the other delegates. Poster pitches will be presented in alphabetical order. A list of poster pitches will be circulated shortly before the event. We ask you to stand up and wait near the podium a few minutes before your turn. If you wish, you can use 1 or 2 slides for your presentation. To keep to the schedule, we ask you to email your slides, in pdf format exclusively, to This email address is being protected from spambots.
