15th ANNIVERSARY MEETING OF DIRAC MEDALLISTS | (smr 1341) (04-5 November 2000)

Administration

Description

This year marks the 15th anniversary of the institution of the award of the Dirac Medal of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics.

During its short life, the Dirac Medal has become a prestigious award with an impressive list of medallists, all of them protagonists in today's theoretical physics
research. We celebrated this anniversary by inviting all Medallists to come to Trieste to tell us about their past or recent interests.
