Abstract
The aim of the school is to bring together PhD students with interests in low-dimensional quantum field theory, conformal field theory and integrable models, and their applications to statistical mechanics and condensed matter systems, and to help them build a solid and specialized background on these topics. The school provides a range of postgraduate courses covering introductory topics as well as recent developments.

Lectures are scheduled for four hours each morning, for a total amount of forty hours, over two weeks. Presentations are given at the blackboard. The afternoon is devoted to exercises, study, and discussions with lecturers and senior participants. A desk and standard research facilities are provided to all participants.

The school can admit up to forty participants. Accommodation for two weeks in shared rooms can be provided for a total price of approximately 500 €. Financial support for this accommodation may be granted upon request.
The admitted participants will be contacted by GGI secretariat at the end of December.
The courses can be included in the the Ph.D. curricula of Italian Universities and abroad. If necessary, exams on the courses can be taken.
