Theories of the Fundamental Interactions is a bi-annual meeting, organized by the INFN networks GAST, GSS and ST&FI, which gathers expert and young researchers within the Italian scientific community. The 9th meeting will take place at the center Paolo VI in Brescia from May 25th to May 27th, 2026.
The conference will focus on several aspects of high-energy physics such as: perturbative and non-perturbative quantum field theory, classical and quantum gravity, the holographic principle, conformal field theories, integrable models, supergravity, black holes, quantum information, and applications to cosmology and condensed matter physics.
The program will include three review lectures, regular talks given by young researchers, and a poster session (where participation from senior master students, PhD students and young postdocs will be encouraged).

Practical Informations
Rooms at the venue of the conference (Paolo VI) are NOT automatically reserved to the participants, rather each participant should book their room individually. We suggest the participants to book their room in advance following the link. The payment of the rooms is usually done in advance, but many rooms have the option of a free cancellation until the day of the conference itself.
Alternatively, participants are free to consult other websites and individually book a place of their preference.
