Abstract

Aim of this short conference is to provide an overview of the status of String Theory with particular attention to the recently emerging problems in such a way as to give a rich and far reaching start to the extended workshop.

The number of participants is limited to 80. The participation fee for the Conference is 100 Euros including registration, coffee-breaks and lunches. For those willing to participate to the social dinner on Wednesday, April 8 there will be an extra charge of 50 Euro. The fee should be paid cash on arrival at the registration desk.
