Schrödinger Polymer Workshop 2025
Date & Time - May 21st, 2025
Location - Mannheim, Germany
Using Schrödinger’s Materials Science Suite for atomic-scale simulations
Schrödinger invites you to a one-day in-person workshop in Mannheim, Germany to gain hands-on experience with Schrödinger software for polymer design and simulation for a variety of applications.
Participants will get practical experience and in-person guidance in using our Materials Science Suite and the tools involved in building molecules, polymers, and complex mixtures for use in molecular dynamics simulations. Leveraging automated property prediction workflows as well as analysis tools will play an important role. Another aspect will be the application of machine learning.
Examples of how molecular-scale simulations can inform polymer and polymer formulation development will be included throughout the day.
