About CCK Comp Chem Kitchen is a regular forum and seminar series to hear about and discuss computational methods for tackling problems in chemistry, biochemistry and drug discovery. It focuses principally on cheminformatics, computational chemistry, and molecular modelling, and overlaps with neighboring areas such as materials properties and bioinformatics. We’re keen to encourage people involved in coding and methods development (i.e. hackers, in the original untarnished sense of the word) to join us. Our hope is that we will share best practices, even code snippets and software tools, and avoid re-inventing wheels. In addition to local researchers, we invite speakers from industry and non-profits from time to time, and occasionally organize software demos and tutorials. If you're interested in giving a talk, here are some possible topics: Software development (e.g.: Python, C, C++, CUDA, shell, Matlab); Optimizing force field parameters & EVB models; Cheminformatics (e.g.: RDKit); X-ray and NMR crystallography, including small molecule and macromolecular; Protein & RNA modeling, including Molecular Dynamics; Virtual screening and Docking; Machine Learning; Quantum Methods, including DFT. Bring your laptops, by the way, if you have something you'd like to show!   Want to speak? Ideas for speakers? * If you have ideas for speakers, or would like to give a talk, let us know. We also invite lightning talks of 5 minutes (or fewer) from attendees, so if you have some cool code you’ve been working on and would like to demo, bring your laptop, smartphone, tablet, (wearable?) and tell us all about it. * Please pass this message on to friends, colleagues, and students who may be interested too! The main CCK web site is: http://compchemkitchen.org/ Follow us on Twitter: @CompChemKitchen See you soon! We’re looking forward to seeing and hearing about the diverse range of computational molecular science that you’re cooking up... —Garrett, Richard, Phil and Rob garrett.morris@stats.ox.ac.uk richard.cooper@chem.ox.ac.uk philip.biggin@bioch.ox.ac.uk robert.paton@chem.ox.ac.uk We would like to thank the University of Oxford MPLS Network and Interdisciplinary Fund for making CCK possible.

      We are happy to introduce the learning course on blockchain technologies with the new IT development school X.Teams. We invite UNIT Factorystudents and media representatives to the presentation of new learning course that will take place on November 29th at 11.00 in the UNIT.Core hall, B1 building, Kyiv, Dorogozhitska str, 3.X.Teams school starts on the base of two powerful and innovative platforms, UNIT Factory in partnership with Blockchain Ukraine. The combination of benefits from both platforms creates the opportunity to train high-skilled specialists integrated to the professional community.After the competitive admissions, the first learning course enrols 30 students, who get study grant while taking part in the course. Both independently and in the small teams, the students will work on the real tasks, maintain the interaction of API and blockchain, and develop the prototypes for real blockchain-based projects based on Ethereum and Bitcoin. After three school months, the students will take part in two-day hackathon and four weeks of practical training. MarketsandMarkets evaluates the global blockchain technology market as $411.5 million. Within the five years, it can boost to $7.68 billion. Currently, there are 14 open jobs of blockchain developer per blockchain professional. The learning course on blockchain technology from X.Teams school should increase the presence of Ukrainian engineers on the global blockchain market and improve their positions in the global rates of software developers. Please feel free to ask the representatives of X.Teams, Blockchain Ukraineand UNIT Factory about the requirements to the enrolees, the structure of learning process and outcomes for the graduates.

                  The video gaming industry, which is expected to have a global market of $138 Billion in 2018, has remained untapped in Africa, a continent with perhaps the largest pool of content for folktales, art, history, and culture. However, despite the long silence, recent upsprings of premium quality African games indicate that the giant has finally awoken. And as a tribute to this awakening, Gebeya, in collaboration with Qene Technologies and sponsored by Good World Games, would like to invite all interested artists, IT professionals, gamers, story writers, music producers, and all enthusiasts to EthioHacks V, the first hackathon event of this series dedicated to the gaming industry. The two-day Hackathon will provide the attendees with a chance to network with professionals and industry leaders from different fields in the gaming sector to collaborate and create beautiful games. Attendees will be paired in groups, with each group consisting of concept developers, artists, modelers, animators, musicians, story writers and game designers. These groups will compete for the most fun, attractive and ingenious game.  Whether you are an expert or an enthusiast of technology, we welcome you to join us  to conceptualize and create beautiful games.  PRIZES As part of the Good World Games sponsorship, Winning game(s) emerging from the hackathon will be featured in GameTrove for some period of time, with associated developer credit. Also the winning game will have the possibility to be incubated by Gebeya and released on an international market with the help of Qene Technologies. First, Second and Third place winners will get prizes such as scholarships for Gebeya Professional Training, and acceptance into the Gebeya fellowship program soon to be announced AGENDA - Bring gaming enthusiasts together to collaborate on creating their own games - Build the industry experts together to create a network that could flourish into bigger games - Create awareness about the industry and explore possibilities WHEN Saturday, Sep 22nd, from 8:30 AM to 05:30 PM (EAT) Sunday, Sep 23rd, from 8:30 AM to 05:30 PM (EAT) WHERE Gebeya Academy Headquarters: Woreda 02, Sinan Building 2nd Floor, Bole Subcity, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
