The International School On Strings And Fundamental Physics invites PhD students and postdocs for a two-week event to Munich/Garching, Germany.

The school is organized in the framework of the Excellence Cluster 'Universe', which connects the two universities located in the Munich area as well as several research institutes (list of cluster institutions).

Internationally well known scientists will give lectures on modern topics in string theory. The first week will cover basics of string theory, while the second week will focus on advanced topics. Several social events are planned.

Everybody worldwide, working in the field of string theory, is invited to apply for participation. There is no registration fee.

Financial support is available for applicants from selected regions, among them but not restricted to Africa, South America, parts of Asia and parts of Eastern Europe. The aim is to give excellent people who cannot get funding from their home institute the possibility to participate in an international event, and to encourage worldwide contacts and collaborations within the scientific community.

The funding will cover any travel costs, accommodation, board and social events. An international advisory committee will review the applications.

Funded participants will have the opportunity to give a brief (5 min) presentation on their research. If participants would like to take the opportunity to visit other universities and institutes in Europe before or after the school, we will be happy to assist in establishing contacts with local scientists.


The school will take place at this location: Campus Garching
