Spring School on Superstring Theory and Related Topics

Administration

Description

An ICTP Meeting in person

ICTP's annual Spring School on Superstring Theory and Related Topics provides pedagogical treatment of those subjects through lectures by some of the world's top string and quantum field theorists. The activity is intended for theoretical physicists or mathematicians with knowledge of quantum field theory, general relativity, and string theory.

It is organised in collaboration with the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN).

Lecturers:
S. KOMATSU, CERN, Switzerland
S. MINWALLA, Tata Insitute of Fundamental Research, India
A. PUHM, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
A. ZHIBOEDOV, CERN, Switzerland

Call for Contributed Abstracts: All applicants are encouraged to submit an abstract for a poster presentation. Abstract templates are available below for download.

Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries. There is no registration fee.
