We are planning to hold an oxDNA users and developers workshop in Oxford September 2-5 2024. The aim of the workshop is to bring together both developers and users of the oxDNA, oxRNA and oxNA models to share current research projects and to set the agenda for the future development of the oxDNA family of models, code and infrastructure, as well as to identify (and begin to address) current shortcomings. Particular foci are likely to be inter-operability of DNA design and other simulation tools, see for example those listed on tacoxdna, and user-friendly tools to improve oxDNA accessibility for non-expert users, see for example oxview
