“Frontiers
in String Phenomenology”
July 28 – August 1, 2014
Ringberg Castle, Tegernsee
Venue
The workshop will take place at Ringberg Castle,
which is located on Mount Ringberg and
overlooks Lake Tegernsee,
one of the most picturesque locations to be found in all of southern Bavaria. The
castle, which
is owned and operated by the Max-Planck-Society, represents an ideal
venue for
scientific conferences, offering impressive architecture, displays of
fine art,
a music room, excellent food, spectacular views of the surrounding
mountains,
not to mention the fresh air and great walks.
More specific information on the Ringberg
Castle, including colored
photographs,
is available from Ringberg Castle site. The distance to the
next village,
Rottach-Egern, is about 3 km.

Philosophy
The
aim of the workshop is to provide an overview of the present status of
the field and, in particular, to identify promising open directions and
challenges for future research. On the formal side, emphasis should be
given to the question of how one can
combine different approaches, based for instance on non-geometric
backgrounds, double field theory and conformal field theory, in order
to make progress on longstanding problems, like a better
understanding of RR fluxes in string theory. Thus,
we plan to leave a lot of time for discussions and interactions between
the participants. Apart from this we will have some overview talks and
some specialized talks about recent developments.
Participation is by
invitation
only.
