It is our pleasure to invite you to the 11th Annual European Schrödinger User Group Meeting (UGM) to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark on October 19-21st, 2011. The two UGM venues are right in the heart of Copenhagen, close to the Tivoli Gardens and central train station. The workshops and presentations will take place at the Danish Design Center and the UGM dinner on Oct 20th will be in the exclusive restaurant The Nimb in the Tivoli Gardens.

We have planned for 3 days beginning Wednesday 08.30 and closing Friday at 15.00 including:   

• 3 half-day in-depth workshops with laptops. These consecutive workshops cover relevant topics in computational chemistry in-depth as they allow participants to work hands-on with laptops. The 3 workshop topics are:
      1) Prediction and Optimization of Target Structure
      2) Lead Finding - Exploring Various Approaches
      3) Lead Optimization Guided by Hydration Energetics
      View Details...

• 2 half-days with scientific presentations by key speakers from industry and academia.
