Short Scientific Visits Call 2024
We are glad to announce the opening of the 2024 Call for Short Scientific Visits within IRN:QFS. The aim is to support short visits (up to one week) to a few nodes who have agreed to earmark some fund for this program. The call is open to junior scientists from of the institutions participating in IRN:QFS. The deadline for this call, covering visits due to take place between Feb 12 and Dec 20, 2024, is January 22, 2024 (extended from original deadline Jan 19). See this page for more details.
COST Action “Fundamental challenges in theoretical physics”
The COST Action “Fundamental challenges in theoretical physics” was officially launched on October 10, 2023. This new EU-funded research network covers a broad range of topics in quantum field theory, string theory, gravity, geometry and information theory. The Action provides networking opportunities for researchers, especially those located in COST Countries, in the form of support to workshops, schools and conferences, and of funding of short-term scientific missions.
The first Call for Short-Term Scientific Missions is now open, covering visits from Jan 8 till July 30, 2024. This call is open to researchers with an academic affiliation in any of the COST Countries, provided they are registered to one of the workgroups. Junior researchers (PhD students and postdoctoral fellows) are particularly encouraged to apply. The application deadline is December 12, 2023, see the Action website for more details. Note that the Action STSM Call is separate from the IRN:QFS STSM calls.
The Action Kick-off Meeting will take place at University of Padova, 13-15 May 2024. Financial support will be available for Action members (by application). Details will be also announced on the website [4] in due course.
Researchers interested in taking part in these activities are invited to apply to join the Action. Please visit the Action Portal and select “Apply to join your Working Groups of interest” on the right-side tab. Only a brief description of scientific background and research interests is required.
Advanced Summer School in Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Gravity – Quy Nhon, 9-29 July 2023
The Advanced Summer School in Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Gravity is aimed at advanced doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. It is the 2023 edition in a biennial series of Advanced Summer Schools in High Energy Theoretical Physics, which were traditionally held either in Cargèse or Les Houches.
This session will exceptionally take place at ICISE, the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education in Quy Nhon, Vietnam, from July 9 to July 29, 2023.
The School will include introductory and advanced lectures on the following topics: Quantum gravity, string theory, black holes, amplitudes, holography, cosmology, quantum information theory, theoretical condensed matter and artificial intelligence. The schedule will leave ample room for discussions. A series of advanced seminars, organized in a workshop style with other invited speakers, will complete the program.
Applications should be made through the school website before March 30, 2023.
