Program
The workshop focuses on the modeling of chemically propelled nanomotors. The first day is dedicated to talks by leading experts on theory and experiments, with time for in depth discussions. The second day consists of a hands-on training on simulation work, targeted towards early career researchers. An open-source simulation code will be used.
