Amsterdam String Summer Workshop 2022

Including Verlinde-Verlinde symposium

The aim of this workshop is to discuss new methods and developments in string theory. By now this workshop is a tradition: we meet to discuss exciting results in our community in the beautiful city of Amsterdam. We will provide a relaxed and open environment. There will be plenty time for discussion among participants: our priority is to have the opportunity to create, collaborate and inspire!
Start date
4 July 2022
End date
15 July 2022
Time
09:30

The workshop will take place from July 4 to July 15, 2022. The activity will have the same - by now traditional - format of the other workshops in the series: typically two talks per day, with lots of time for informal discussion and collaboration.

This year, we will try to decode black holes (those that burn and those that don't); we'll admire the elegance of exact results in supersymmetric theories and strongly coupled systems; recent development in string-pheno and cosmology; and last but not least, we'll hear the latest news about holography and its applications. 

Registration 

CLOSED

Verlinde2-symposium

Also this year, the last two days of the workshop will be devoted to celebrating Erik and Herman Verlinde's 60th birthday, with special talks, guests and activities during July 14-15.

Science & Cocktails: Hiroshi Ooguri and Andrew Strominger

Integrated in the Amsterdam String Theory Workshop 2022 and the Verlinde2 Symposium is an episode of Science & Cocktails with world renowned theoretical physicists and string theorists Hiroshi Ooguri - professor at California Institute of Technology and at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe at the University of Tokyo, and Andrew Strominger – professor at the University of Harvard. A well-stirred mix of dry ice-cocktails and finely picked science Paradiso Amsterdam, a former church turned into a pop cathedral. A journey through the mysteries of universe including gravity, the forces of nature, black holes and string theory.
