The workshop has been organized within the MODSIM project of the Subcommittee on Polymer Terminology, which is part of the Polymer Division of IUPAC. The aim of the MODSIM project is establish a consensus around the technical terms used in modeling and simulation of polymers and related materials.

The workshop is part of the yearly activities of the IT-SIMUL node of CECAM.

The organizers acknowledge also the PRIN 2015 project "Molecular organization in organic thin films via computer simulation of their fabrication processes" (2015XJA9NT).
