Strings and Quantum Gravity in the Alps

vendredi 14 oct. 2022, 09:00 → 22:00 Europe/Paris

Petit Amphi (LAPTh)

This one-day workshop aims at gathering in an informal and friendly atmosphere at LAPTh Annecy the local string and quantum field theory community for exchanges on active research topics.

Invited speakers:

• João Penedones (EPFL)
• Henning Samtleben (ENS Lyon)
• Julian Sonner (UNIGE)
• Irene Valenzuela (CERN)
• Alexander Zhiboedov (CERN)

A gong-show is in addition proposed for young researchers.

 

Registration

Registration will be open from the 2nd September until the 25th of September. In case you miss it but still want to participate, please contact us asap.

 

Lunch and Dinner

Lunch and dinner will be offered. Lunch will be provided at LAPTh, and dinner will take place at the Brasserie de l'Impérial. For organisational reasons, we ask you to register for lunch and/or dinner only if you are certain to participate to them.

To reach the dinner restaurant as a group, we will leave LAPTh and catch the 18:19 Bus 1 at Campus, stop at Montremont and walk along Avenue de France.

 

Travel

Annecy can be easily reached by car (including car-sharing Blablacar), bus (Flixbus or B272), or train (SNCF, SBB).

Detailed information on how to access the LAPTh can be found on this page. Buses connecting the station and the LAPTh are indicated.

If you come by car, you will find a parking at the LAPTh. The barrier at the entrance opens automatically, you just have to approach it.

 

Accomodation
