Conf. IV, 2nd floor of physics building, just follow the signs from the main entrance! (LPTENS)

This year's ENS summer institute will take place from August 20th to August 29th. We will kick off the institute with a three day conference dedicated to the recent progress in our understanding of quantum theories in 6d, ranging from the classification program of 6d superconformal field theories via F-theory engineering, to computational techniques based on localisation, the topological string, and much more. The ensuing days will proceed at a more leisurely pace, leaving ample time for interaction and collaboration. During the second week of the institute, David Tong will give a three part lecture on the topic of 3d dualities.
