This workshop is funded by the newly established research training group RTG 2522 and aims to bring together researchers from different areas of theoretical physics who study manifestations and phenomena of strongly-interacting field theories, in order to allow for a transfer of knowledge and methods. This year's workshop plans to put a special emphasis on symmetry breaking and phase transitions, quantum field theory in and out of equilibrium, inhomogeneous condensates and fermionic systems.
The workshop intends to be a platform to stimulate a cross-fertilization between discrete and continuum approaches to strongly-interacting field theories - spanning the range from lattice gauge theory, functional renormalization group methods to gauge/gravity dualities.
