Bridging Strings, Fields, and Gravity | 15-20 Aug 2027 | Ascona

Dates: Sunday, 15 August 2027 - Friday, 20 August 2027

Venue: Centro Congressi Stefano Franscini, Monte Verità, Ascona, Switzerland

Financial support: ETH Zurich, University of Geneva, SNSF, and Congressi Stefano Franscini

 

Understanding quantum gravity and quantum field theory beyond perturbation theory is one of the central challenges of modern theoretical physics. Recent developments in string dualities, holography, non-perturbative methods, and quantum gravity have revealed deep connections between physics and mathematics. This meeting will bring together international experts and young researchers working at the interface of string theory, quantum field theory, gravity, and mathematical physics, with the aim of exchanging ideas, identifying common structures, and opening new directions for research and collaboration.

 

Organizers: Matthias Gaberdiel (ETH Zurich) Victor Gorbenko (EPFL) Alba Grassi (UNIGE) Julian Sonner (UNIGE)
