Conference: Foundations of Molecular Modeling and Simulation (FOMMS 2012); Welches, Oregon; July 22-26, 2012

这笔赠款为将于2012年7月22日至26日在俄勒冈州韦尔奇举行的2012年分子建模与模拟基金会（FOMMS）会议提供资金。 会议将强调计算量子和经典模拟方法的最新发展，以及它们在科学和工程中的发现和数据驱动应用的应用。 该补助金将用于支持会议的参与者费用，促进否则可能无法参加会议的研究人员的出席，包括初级教师，博士后研究人员，研究生和代表性不足的少数民族。 会议的特点是来自美国，欧洲和日本的18位著名创新者和分子建模和模拟从业者的杰出和多样化的名单，他们已接受邀请，在为期4.5天的会议上进行全体会议。 此外，还将举办关于开放源码分子模拟代码和在教育中使用分子模拟方法的讲习班。FOMMS 2012会议将广泛影响在学术界和工业界开发或使用基于分子的建模和模拟工具的研究人员和学生。会议的形式和地点为与会者之间的互动，学科交叉和指导年轻研究人员提供了充足的时间和机会。

This grant provides funding for the Foundations of Molecular Modeling and Simulation (FOMMS) 2012 conference to be held in Welches, Oregon July 22 - 26, 2012. The conference will emphasize the latest developments in computational quantum and classical simulation methods, as well as their application to discovery and data driven applications in science and engineering. The grant will be used to support participant costs for the meeting, facilitating attendance by researchers who might otherwise be unable to attend the conference, including junior faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students, and under-represented minorities. The conference features an outstanding and diverse slate of 18 renowned innovators in and practitioners of molecular modeling and simulation from the US, Europe, and Japan who have accepted invitations to present plenary talks over the 4.5 day conference. Additionally, workshops on open source molecular simulation codes and on the use of molecular simulation methods in education will be conducted. Participants will be encouraged to present their latest work in one of two poster sessions.The FOMMS 2012 conference will broadly impact researchers and students who develop or use molecular-based modeling and simulation tools in academia and industry. The conference format and venue provide ample time and opportunity for interaction among participants, cross-fertilization of disciplines, and mentoring of young researchers.
