Scope
The Nordic Meetings on "Strings, Fields and Branes" started as informal meetings around 1994-1995 and have since been hosted in turn by various institutes in the Nordic countries. This series of meetings is intended to especially provide opportunities for (PhD) students and early postdoc researchers in High Energy Theory physics and related topics working within the Nordic community to interact, exchange ideas, and give presentations. The meeting also aims to put students and junior researchers in contact with the forefront of current research in the field, through a series of pedagogical lectures by leading experts on topics of significant recent interest. More senior people are also warmly invited to attend!
Preliminary programme schedule
This year we organize the meeting starting from 12:55 on Tuesday 29 October 2024 until 14:30 on Thursday 31 October. The conference dinner is scheduled on the evening of Wednesday 30 October. The programme will consist of three longer talks and shorter talks about exciting new research. You can register to give a short talk. In addition there will be two 'career' talks by speakers with a HEPTH background.
