MEETING IN STRING THEORY

 

INFORMATION
The purpose of this biannual meeting is to bring together string theorists from the countries of the "old world" (from the Balkans to India) in order to discuss the most recent developments in the field. We also expect to have a small number of external experts from Europe and USA. The format of the program will contain several pedagogical overview lectures for young researchers as well as a workshop session with seminars given by participating researchers. Participation to the meeting is by invitation only. Please contact the organizers at bakas@mail.ntua.gr for more information.
