 These workshops are aimed to provide a set of stimulating workshops
 using latest advanced modelling techniques of relevance to chemists,
 life scientists and modellers working in drug discovery. The workshop
 group studies problems with hands-on examples using leading-edge
 software and discusses complex issues highlighted by examples and case
 studies presented by instructors. A variety of leading drug discovery
 software packages and an IT classroom are used by instructors and
 participants to work through problems.
