Welcome to the Molecular Sciences Software Institute Google Group!

[T. Daniel Crawford]

The Molecular Sciences Software Institute (MolSSI) was launched August
1st, 2016, with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation.
The MolSSI is designed to serve as a nexus for science, education, and
cooperation for the worldwide community of computational molecular
scientists -- a broad field encompassing biomolecular simulation,
quantum chemistry, and materials science.

The MolSSI will engage a team of Software Scientists (molecular
scientists, computer scientists, and applied mathematicians with
software engineering expertise) as well as a large cohort of Software
Fellows (graduate students and postdocs in research groups across the
U.S.) to develop open-source modules, frameworks, and other software
infrastructure for use throughout the spectrum of community molecular
science codes. To complement these efforts, the MolSSI will also
enable the formation of the Molecular Sciences Consortium, which will
include representatives from the discipline to work together to
establish community-wide standards for data, software, best practices,
and more. Finally, to enhance education and community engagement, the
Institute will sponsor a range of workshops, summer schools, an online
Ph.D. certificate in software best practices, and a Professional
Master's Degree in Molecular Science and Software Engineering.

In the coming months, the MolSSI will announce calls for proposals for
community-driven workshops and Software Fellowships, as well as a
launch event at the American Chemical Society meeting in San Francisco
in April 2017. In addition, MolSSI is in the process of hiring
multiple Software Scientists. More information can be found at the
Institute's website: molssi.org.

The MolSSI Board of Directors:
