 Dear list subscribers,
we are very delighted to announce this year’s “33rd
 Molecular Modelling
 Workshop (MMWS)” (http://mmws2019.mgms-ds.de) that takes place on April,
 Monday 8th to Wednesday 10th, 2019, at the
 Friedrich-Alexander-University in Erlangen, Germany.
The MMWS has a long history of giving young scientists (especially
 graduate students) the opportunity to present their work and dive into
 discussions with each other and the "older experts" of the
 field to gain
 valuable feedback from academic as well as industrial colleagues. Oral
 and poster contributions are welcome from all areas of molecular
 modelling – from the life sciences, computational biology and
 chemistry,
 cheminformatics, to materials sciences.
Starting with the scientific program on Monday after lunch should
 allow
 to avoid travelling on weekend keeping the expenses at a minimum. A
 hearty workshop dinner and a traditional joint evening in
 Erlangen’s
 Steinbach-Bräu brewery complement the scientific program. The
 workshop
 is organised by the German Section of the Molecular Graphics and
 Modelling Society (MGMS-DS e.V.).
 ####### Satellite symposium in honour of Tim Clark's 70th birthday #######
Directly after the MMWS, there will be a one-day symposium on Thursday
 April 11th, 2019 to celebrate the occasion of Tim Clark's 70th
 birthday.
 You are invited to attend this meeting and extend your stay in Erlangen
 by an extra day. There will be invited lectures only and no contributed
 talks. There is no registration, conference desk, or extra fee.
 Nevertheless, we expect that you indicate your interest in attending on
 Thursday by checking the corresponding field during registration for
 the
 MMWS.
 For further information about our Birthday Symposium, please refer to
 "Tim-Clark-Day" via https://mmws2019.mgms-ds.de/index.php?m=113
 ####### Pre-conference workshop #######
For the second time at our Molecular Modeling Workshop,
 Schrödinger is
 offering a pre-conference workshop entiteled "Structure-based Drug
 Design using the Schrödinger Suite". If you are interested in
 participating at the software session, please checkmark the
 corresponding field upon filling the registration form.
 ####### Plenary Speakers #######
We are very happy to announce that four outstanding researchers
 accepted
 our invitation to present a plenary lecture at the Modeling workshop:
 Matthias Bremer (Merck KGaA, Darmstadt)
"The Role of Quantum Chemistry in the Development of Liquid
 Crystals for
 Display Applications"
 Ruth Brenk (University of Bergen)
 "Structure-based design of riboswitch ligands and selective NMT
 inhibitors"
 Bernd Meyer (University of Erlangen)
 "Chemistry at the solid-liquid interface"
 Rochus Schmid (Ruhr-University Bochum)
 "Force fields for porous coordination polymers - a tricky business"
 ####### Poster and Lecture Awards #######
As in the past years, there will be two poster awards of EUR 100 each
 and three lecture awards for the best contributed oral presentations:
1st winner: Travel bursary to attend the Young Modeller's Forum in
 London, UK, plus a speaker slot option at YMF (travel expenses are
 reimbursed up to EUR 500)
 2nd winner: EUR 200 travel expenses reimbursement
 3rd winner: EUR 100 travel expenses reimbursement
Only undergraduate and graduate research students qualify for the
 poster
 and lecture awards.
 ####### Registration and poster/talk submission #######
Submit talks and/or poster titles via the registration form accessible
 on the workshop website https://mmws2019.mgms-ds.de/index.php?m=register
 The deadline for all submissions is February 22nd, 2019.
 ####### General information #######
Website http://mmws2019.mgms-ds.de will provide all necessary
 information about the meeting.
 We are looking forward to meeting you in Erlangen!
