Scope 

The purpose of this winter school is to provide introductory courses in a range of important and exciting topics in the field of theoretical particle physics and cosmology, including gravitational waves, scattering theory, integrability, black holes, axion physics, inflation, string theory and neutrino physics. The school will also bring together students and young postdocs across different fields, research institutions and countries. 

Schedule

The school will start on Monday, January 15 and will end on Thursday, January 26. There will be no lecture on Sunday, January 21. 

The registration on Monday, January 15 starts at 09:15 on floor 6, and the welcome address takes place in the lecture room on floor 4 at 09:50.         
 

Update: The lectures on Wednesday, January 24, will take place in Uppsala in conjunction with the inauguration of the Centre for Geometry and Physics

We will take train 814, leaving Sthlm Central at 8:36, and will arrive in Uppsala at 9:15. The lecture starts at 10:15 in the Ångström Laboratory/4001 (see also the detailed campus map). The train back to Stockholm (857) leaves at 17:44.

Financial Support

Students and postdocs from Nordic and Baltic countries can apply for financial support covering accomodation and/or travel expenses. A short motivational paragraph is requested in the registration form (max 100 words). 

Application

The school is primarily intended for PhD students and young postdocs. Advanced master students may also apply. In order to apply to the Nordita winter school, please fill out the application form (PhD and master students need to state the supervisor's name). Show that you are eligible to the school by providing keywords that describe your research interests (and optionally adding references to relevant papers).

The registration deadline is November 5, 2023 (extended). We will inform you about the outcome of your application before the end of November.

Invited speakers should also fill out the registration form, but only the indicated sections.
