The Numerical Modelling and Simulations Workshop held at Old Thorns, Liphook, Hampshire was attended by 29 SEPnet postgraduate researchers. �Prof Roger Webb, University of Surrey, delivered�a talk on "Materials Modelling - 35 Years of Animation" on Sunday evening which was well received. �Day 1 covered�first-principles quantum mechanical simulations of electrons and nuclei focussing on the package CASTEP and was delivered by Prof Keith Refson, Royal Holloway, University of London. �Day 2 covered molecular dynamics delivered by Dr Kostya Trachenko, Queen Mary University of London�and Monte �Carlo simulation methods which was delivered by Dr Dave Faux, University of Surrey.

Feedback from students was very positive: "two days was perfect length, course content fantastic, workshop questions very informative and venue was great"!
