RTG 2522 Mini-Workshop "Modern Aspects of Quantum Field Theory"

21 Jan 2020, 09:00 → 23 Jan 2020, 18:00 Europe/Berlin

Abbeanum/Ground floor-HS 2 - Hörsaal 2 (TPI, FSU Jena)

This Mini-Workshop is intended to give an overview over various current contemporary topics of quantum field theory and its applications in a vast variety of fields.

There will be ample time for Q&A sessions and discussions.

RTG fellows as well as interested students and colleagues are welcome to attend.
