A number of recent photometric and spectroscopic observational studies have shown that several globular clusters host multiple stellar populations and raised a major challenge to the common paradigm according to which globular clusters are `simple stellar populations'---systems made up of stars all with the same age and chemical composition. Such a major paradigm shift raises a number of fundamental questions and challenges concerning the formation and the dynamical evolution of globular clusters.We propose here to carry out a detailed study of the long-term dynamical evolution of multiple populations in globular clusters. We will explore how the presence of multiple populations affect the dynamics of globular clusters, their current structural properties and the extent of the differences between the mass function, the structural and kinematical properties of different populations during a cluster dynamical history.;
