The Strings and Geometry conference is a continuation of the series of conferences "Physics and Geometry of F-theory", established in 2012.
After it was renamed in 2019, it brings together leading international experts working more broadly at the interface of string theory and mathematics.
Topics of the 2025 edition include: Mathematical aspects of string compactifications, geometric engineering of field theories, symmetries in their various incarnations, as well as geometrical aspects of the swampland program.
