The long program opens with four days of tutorials that will provide an introduction to major themes of the entire program and the four workshops. The goal is to build a foundation for the participants of this program who have diverse scientific backgrounds. Topics that will be discussed during the tutorials include

• Interatomic Potentials: From Ab-Initio to Empirical Potentials
• Molecular Dynamics
• Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations
• Surface Dynamics
• Dislocations
• Grain Boundaries and Polycrystalline Materials
• Crack Propagation
• Fracture Mechanics
• Continuum Plasticity

Registration for tutorials is free, to encourage broad participation.
