If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conference overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2027 EMBO Workshop on computational structural biology will bring together the international community working at the interface of structural biology and computation. After the AlphaFold revolution and the AlphaFold3 generation of all-atom models, the field is moving beyond static prediction toward dynamics, ensembles, biological context, and design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The programme is built around six sessions: all-atom and integrative modelling of biomolecules and assemblies; nucleic acid structure and nucleic acid-protein interactions; physics-based simulation and dynamics; machine-learned dynamics and conformational ensembles; biomolecular design and drug discovery; and function, evolution, mechanism. The 2027 edition puts emphasis on two whole sessions on dynamics (one classical, one ML), nucleic acids elevated to a standalone session, and a strengthened biology-and applications spine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting hosts 16 invited speakers and two keynote speakers, abstract-selected short talks, a round-table discussion, poster sessions, a job fair, and dedicated networking. Our goals are to disseminate the latest methods and results, foster interdisciplinary collaboration across the prediction-dynamics-design-biology spectrum, and chart future directions for the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"vf-tabs__section\" id=\"vf-tabs__section-sponsors\"><h2>Sponsors<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Media partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ojs.bonviewpress.com\/index.php\/MEDIN\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Medinformatics<\/em>, a Bon View Publishing journal<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Molecular Systems Biology<\/em>, an EMBO Press journal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sponsorship opportunities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We offer a variety of event sponsoring possibilities, with the flexibility to select a set sponsorship package or combine individual sponsorship options to suit your event budget.&nbsp;Discounts are available for companies sponsoring multiple events at EMBL Heidelberg.&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.embl.org\/events\">View other conferences<\/a>, or contact&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:sponsorship@embl.de\">sponsorship@embl.org<\/a>&nbsp;for further information on sponsoring possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are interested in becoming a media partner of this event, please visit our<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.org\/about\/info\/course-and-conference-office\/sponsor-an-event\/#vf-tabs__section-08208670-4ad4-45ca-a4ff-ac6edb6ffd0b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&nbsp;media partnerships webpage.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><p><a href=\"mailto:sponsorship@embl-em.de?subject=%20Request%20a%20Sponsorship%20Brochure&#038;body=Please%20kindly%20send%20me%20the%20sponsorship%20brochure%20for%20(please%20indicate%20the%20event%20your%20are%20interested%20in).\" class=\"vf-button vf-button--primary vf-button--pill\">Request a sponsorship brochure<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"vf-box vf-box--normal vf-box-theme--quaternary | vf-u-margin__bottom--400\">\n      <h3 class=\"vf-box__heading\">\n                Warning                  <\/h3> \n        <p class=\"vf-box__text\">EMBL wishes to warn sponsors of EMBL conferences and courses of fraudulent schemes purporting to offer sponsorship opportunities on behalf of EMBL or affiliated with EMBL officials.
