This workshop is designed to cover common aspects of energy landscapes research from a diverse range of fields. The themes will include both atomistic and coarse-grained modelling of systems ranging from peptides to condensed matter, including gas phase clusters and colloidal clusters. Theoretical techniques for global optimisation, thermodynamics and kinetics will be covered, especially "rare events", as well as design of force fields for mesoscopic systems and ab initio calculations.

The format will be very informal, allowing for detailed discussion of material driven by the audience. Further discussions are expected to happen during the outdoor activities! The first week will focus on techniques for exploring landscapes, and applications to biomolecules
and rare events; the second week will focus on coarse-grained modelling.
