GGI lectures on the theory of fundamental interactions

11-29 January 2016
Galileo Galilei Institute for Theoretical Physics Firenze

The lectures are primarily addressed to Ph.D. students in High Energy Particle and Astroparticle Physics.
Participation of post-docs is also encouraged. The aim of the school is to give a pedagogical introduction
to the basic concepts and tools needed for research, covering the foundations of the subject at a deep and
advanced level. Lectures will be given on the blackboard.

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.
