Recent Advances in Modelling Rare Events (RARE2021)
Dates: December 15-18, 2021
The meeting will be held virtually via an online platform
Abstract submission is open till Oct 28, 2021
RARE meetings are a series of International symposiums organized to discuss recent advances in the field of rare event sampling of molecular systems. RARE2021 is the third in the series, with very successful symposiums organized in 2014 (RARE2014) and 2017 (RARE2017). This meeting is an Indo-US bilateral workshop supported by the Indo-US Science and Technology Forum (IUSSTF). The theme of the workshop is "Recent Advances in Machine-Learning Tools for Studying Rare Events in Molecular Simulations".
RARE2021 will be conducted in online-mode. There will be two sessions each day. Session I : 0800-1000 hrs Indian Standard Time (IST) Session II : 2000-2200 hrs IST
This symposium is focused on novel computational methods for rare event sampling and machine learning, and their applications in different domains of science and engineering. The meeting will bring together participants to discuss established and novel methods as well as underlying theoretical principles in detail, and to form collaborations to develop new techniques.This symposium is planned in the spirit of Gordon Research Conferences. In order to facilitate the speakers to present their unpublished work, we will not print abstract books or proceedings.
Some of the broad topics covered in RARE2021 are:
New methods for free energy calculations
New methods for enhanced sampling
Collective variables
Transition path sampling and reaction kinetics
Machine learning tools for rare event sampling
Advanced applications of rare event sampling techniques
Students/post-docs from India/abroad: Rs. 1250 (including GST)
Students whose abstract is accepted for poster presentation will be asked to register online. Details for registration will be provided in the due course. Certificate of participation will be given (only) to participants who are presenting a poster
