CCP5 is the Collaborative Computational Project for computer simulation of condensed phases and is funded predominantly by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) of Great Britain. It was founded more than 25 years ago to promote the involvment of UK scientists in collaborative research in this area. Ths is achieved through a programme of one- and two- day workshops, through facilitating tours of the UK by internationally leading scientists and through a series of flagship projects designed to produce cutting-edge software for the benefit of the CCP5 community. CCP5 also runs an annual Summer School that instructs 60-70 graduate students in the art of statistical-mechanics based simulation methods.
