Abstract

The aim of the school is to bring together PhD students with interests in Gauge and String Theory, and help them building a solid and specialised background on recent developments in Theoretical Physics.
 
The school is open to about 20 selected PhD students. Application to the School and for financial support is open, and should be done through the registration page.
 
The courses will be officially part of the Italian Ph.D. training program for the universities that have joined the initiative. For this purpose there will be the possibility of a final exam with the lecturers.
