Thanks!
PLUMED is largely funded through the time of its developers and contributors and the institutions/fellowships paying their salaries. In particular, we would like to acknowledge the institutions of the PLUMED core developers:
- Institut Pasteur and CNRS, France
- International School for Advanced Studies, Italy
- University of Milan, Italy
- Queen’s University Belfast, UK
The following grants, institutions, and companies are also acknowledged for their support to PLUMED events and software development over the years.
PLUMED events
-
Free-energy calculations with PLUMED, held in Lausanne, Switzerland on Sept. 28 - Oct. 1 2010. The event was organized by D. Branduardi, G. Bussi and F. Pietrucci and was attended by 48 participants. Description: The first PLUMED tutorial introduced students to the code using a mixture of lectures and hands-on sessions. Funding agencies: CECAM.
-
PLUMED meeting, held in Trieste, Italy on 19-20 June 2012. The event was organized by G. Bussi and C. Camilloni and was attended by 38 participants. Description: A meeting to collect feedback from advanced PLUMED users about the update from PLUMED 1.0 to PLUMED 2.0. Funding agencies: SISSA.
-
Enhancing molecular simulations with PLUMED, held in Belfast, UK on May 28 - June 2 2014. The event was organized by M. Bonomi, D. Branduardi, G. Bussi, C. Camilloni and G. A. Tribello and was attended by 61 participants. Description: A three day tutorial consisting of a mixture of lectures and hands-on sessions followed by a three day workshop with contributed talks and a poster session. Funding agencies: CECAM.
-
PLUMED meeting, held in Trieste, Italy on 22-27 May 2017. The event was organized by G. Bussi and was attended by 49 participants. Description: A three day tutorial on using PLUMED followed by a three day meeting with contributed talks and a poster session. Funding agencies: SISSA, SBP group.
-
Open source software for enhanced sampling simulations, held in Lugano, Switzerland on 22-27 July 2019. The event was organized by M. Bonomi, G. Bussi, C. Camilloni and G. A. Tribello and was attended by 55 participants. Description: A three day hands-on tutorial that introduced students to running simulations with PLUMED followed by a three day user meeting where cutting edge work performed with PLUMED was presented alongside discussions about the future of the field of enhanced sampling. Funding agencies: CECAM, CSCS, Schrödinger.
-
Enhanced sampling methods with PLUMED, held in Lausanne, Switzerland on 3-6 July 2023. The event was organized by M. Bonomi, G. Bussi, C. Camillloni and G. A. Tribello and was attended by 118 participants. Description: A two-day hands-on tutorial during which students developed and presented work that they had done with PLUMED on site. This tutorial was then followed by two days of hybrid discussions about machine learning, kinetics, and enhanced sampling in materials science and biology. Funding agencies: CECAM, CSCS.
PLUMED development
- PNRR and, specifically, the National Center in High Performance Computing, Big Data, and Quantum Computing for funding the development of PLUMED.
