GGI lectures on the theory of fundamental interactions

9-27 January 2017
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. Students will have the possibility to take exams
for the courses, if requested by their doctoral school.
