GSoC / Outreachy 2022 wrap-up

15 Dec 2022

This year MDAnalysis participated in two programs with wonderful contributors from around the globe. We continued our participation in Google Summer of Code for another year and also participated in Outreachy for the first time. Huge thanks to these organisations for supporting MDAnalysis and the students.

Google Summer of Code
