11th Odense Winter School on Theoretical Physics
This year’s annual Odense winter school will focus on recent technical advances in quantum field theory.
The lectures will span a broad range of topics covering resurgence, amplitudes, lattice SUSY, and EFT methods for gravitational waves. In this way much ground will be covered which we hope will benefit the student on his/her route to becoming an independent researcher. All lectures are given by experts in their fields.
Important dates
- October 31, 2018: Deadline for applying for financial support.
