XX AVOGADRO MEETING on Strings, Supergravity and Gauge Theories

18 Dec 2024, 08:30 → 20 Dec 2024, 23:30 Europe/Rome

Chiesa dei Santi Marcellino e Festo (Complesso dei Santi Marcellino e Festo, Napoli)

Charlotte Sleight (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Federico Carta, Francesco Muia (University of Cambridge), Lorenzo Bianchi (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Natalia Pinzani Fokeeva (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare), Stefano Massai (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

[Scam e-mails]: Please be aware of scam e-mails e.g. asking for arrival and departure dates to secure accommodation in Naples. Participants are expected to arrange their own accommodation and all communications regarding the meeting will be sent from the avogadro.meetings gmail or through the avogadro mailing list.

The Avogadro Meetings started in 2005 as an occasion for young Italian theoretical physicists to share their ideas and results in an informal atmosphere. The meeting is named after the University of Piemonte Orientale that hosted its first three editions.

The meeting is traditionally scheduled just before the Christmas break to facilitate the participation of Italian postdocs and PhD students working abroad who can take the chance of their travel back home for Christmas to meet young colleagues and exchange ideas.

In order to stress the pedagogical aim of the meeting, preference is given to extended blackboard presentations on general themes rather than to conventional seminars on specific works, possibly organised and illustrated by more than one speaker and followed by a long discussion session.

Consistently with the original spirit of the event, the invited speakers are usually Italian. However participation is open to anybody and non-Italians are more than welcome to join. For this reason the seminars are presented in English.

The XX edition will take place in Naples.
