Two-day workshop  within the MUR-PRIN 2020KR4KN2 project
 "String Theory as a Bridge between Gauge Theory and Quantum Gravity".

    

Scientific Secretariat: Alessia Di Cori
Organizing Committee: Massimo Bianchi, Francesco Fucito, Jose Francisco Morales, Paolo Pani, Fabio Riccioni

Local Organizing Committee: Massimo Bianchi, Francesco Fucito, Jose Francisco Morales

Support: This event is supported by INFN and by MUR (Italian Ministry of University and Research) through the Grant 2020KR4KN2.

The event will take place on May 8 and 9 2025 in Aula Grassano, Dipartimento di Fisica, Università di Roma ``Tor Vergata" and on zoom at the link

The project is a collaboration between theoretical physics groups at INFN, SISSA, University of Roma Tor Vergata, Turin University, University of Piemonte Orientale, and Sapienza University of Rome.

The topics of the workshop will range from gravitational wave phenomenology to modern approaches to scattering amplitudes, from quantum field theories in the presence of defects to the construction of novel theories with (broken) superconformal symmetry, from cosmological perturbations to highly excited strings and black-hole microstates.
