The PLUMED consortium is an open community composed of current and past PLUMED developers, contributors, and all those researchers whose work builds in part on PLUMED and at the same time drives the development and dissemination of PLUMED. The mission of the consortium is to transform the way researchers communicate the protocols that are used in their molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, in order to maximize the impact of new research and promote the highest possible standards of scientific reproducibility.

PLUMED is an open-source, community-developed library that provides a wide range of different methods, which include:
        • enhanced-sampling algorithms
        • free-energy methods
        • tools to analyze the vast amounts of data produced by MD simulations.
These techniques can be used in combination with a large toolbox of collective variables that describe complex processes in physics, chemistry, material science, and biology.
