Live lab in 2 days
Click Launch Lab. Your research environment appears in the browser.
Each student launches their own private, browser-based laboratory during scheduled live sessions - a full GROMACS and JupyterLab environment with course files pre-loaded, CPU limits enforced, and your work automatically preserved. You never touch cloud provider credentials, billing, or infrastructure.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own supercomputer?
No. You never need a supercomputer or anything fancy. Your laboratory environment is provisioned and managed entirely by SimLab Academy - we give you access to everything you need.
Are cohorts really free?
Yes. Cohorts are free and application-based, with a limited number of seats each round.
What if I've never used Linux or GROMACS before?
That's expected. Week 1 teaches Linux fundamentals from the ground up - no prior command-line experience is assumed.
What happens if a cohort fills up?
Once every seat is confirmed, the cohort is marked full and applicants who were not accepted are automatically emailed the moment a new cohort opens.
