Since 2014, the Les Houches – TSRC Protein Dynamics Workshop is held biannually in the French Alps, in the "Ecole de Physique des Houches". Our workshop builds upon the tradition of the highly successful TSRC Protein Dynamics Workshop at the Telluride Science Research Center (TSRC; Colorado, USA). The latter, "TSRC Protein Dynamics Workshop", has been held biennially in the odd calendar years since 1999 and has traditionally included scientists using computational and experimental approaches to address fundamental problems in protein dynamics.
The workshop aims at gathering researchers from both computational and experimental fields, and exchanging ideas across this large panel of fields, thereby stimulating new developments and fostering collaborations, with a small group of scientists from around the world. To account for the diversity of the workshop participants and speakers, each presentation comprises a pedagogical introduction of the respective field, followed by latest research results and current limits and discussions.
