Scope
Eurostrings is a series of annual conferences gathering researchers from all over Europe and elsewhere, working on string theory, gauge/gravity duality, quantum gravity and quantum field theories, and the relations among them. Previous Eurostrings conferences were held in Southampton, Gijon, Lyon, London, Milano, Leuven, Cambridge.
Themes and program schedule
The conference will feature both review and research talks reflecting recent developments in research on String Theory.

The COST Action
The aim of the COST Action "Fundamental Challenges in Theoretical
Physics" is to develop a comprehensive approach for studying
strongly-interacting systems in classical and quantum physics. The
Action brings together theoretical and mathematical physicists with
expertise in quantum field theory, string theory, gravity, geometry and
information theory, establishing the first network of this kind centred
around Europe. You can join the action by clicking here.
COST Leadership
Alessandro Sfondrini (Action Chair), Piotr Sułkowski (Action Vice-chair), Diego Rodriguez-Gomez, Predrag Dominis Prester, Nicolaos Toumbas, Martin Cederwall, Riccardo Borsato, Nils Carqueville.
