Workshop on String Field Theory and Related Aspects

17 Mar 2025, 09:00 → 28 Mar 2025, 18:30 Europe/Rome

Room D (Old SISSA Building)

Carlo Giovanni Maccaferri (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

This is an international workshop mainly aimed at stimulating discussions and collaborations on the latest progress in String Field Theory and its applications to the broad world of String Theory. 

This activity aims at continuing the spirit of the annual conferences and workshops on String Field Theory and related aspects. Previous related events were held in Benasque (2024), Benasque (2023), Prague (2022),  Cloud (2021),  Brazil (2020, online), Italy (2019) , India (2018), Brazil (2016),  China (2015), Italy (2014), Israel (2012), Czechia (2011), Japan (2010), Russia (2009), Germany (2008).
