Scientific Programs at Nordita

A NORDITA scientific program is an extended workshop where a limited number of scientists work together on specific topics for a period of 1-2 months. Up to 25 participants can be accommodated at any given time. This includes:

Two or three principal investigators are responsible for coordinating a program.

Geometrical Aspects of String Theory

15 October - 15 December 2008
<img src='http://www.nordita.org/img/gast2008.png' alt="" class='floatleft'> Ever since the birth of superstring theory, interaction with geometry has been one of the primary driving forces that has led to progress. On one hand, string theory has generated many new geometrical concepts; and on the other hand new ideas from geometry have often found their first applications in string theory.

Within the program there will be the "Geometrical Aspects of String Theory" workshop and "The 22nd Nordic Network Meeting on 'Strings, Fields and Branes'" [Read more...]
