TFI 2015 - Theories of the Fundamental Interactions

18 Nov 2015, 14:15 → 20 Nov 2015, 14:00 Europe/Rome

Aula Caianiello (Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Napoli "Federico II")

The fourth Meeting of the INFN Networks GAST, GGS and ST&FI, devoted to "Theories of the Fundamental Interactions", will take place in Naples - Italy on November 18-20 2015 at the Department of Physics of the Naples University "Federico II" (Aula Caianiello).

The conference will bring together INFN experts in supersymmetric perturbative and non-perturbative quantum gauge theories, supergravity, string theory and related topics.

There is no registration fee. Travel and accommodation expenses  should be covered by participants. The local organization will cover coffee breaks and lunches served by Le Ghiottonerie di Casa Lorena. A social dinner will be arranged on Thursday evening, November 19th.
 

Scientific Advisory Board: Massimo Bianchi, Gianluca Grignani, Alberto Zaffaroni

Local Organizing Committee: Raffaele Marotta, Wolfgang Mück, Franco Pezzella

Special Event: on Friday, November 20th at 15.00 in Aula Caianiello the 2015 Renato Musto Award Ceremony will take place. This year's award is devoted to Theoretical Physics and, in particular, to the Theory of the Fundamental Interactions and will be assigned to a young researcher working in this area. All the participants are warmly invited to attend this event.
