Description
Strings moving in symmetric spaces are integrable models and can be ``solved'' exactly. Such strings play an important role in furthering our understanding of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In recent years many further integrable string theories were discovered, based on deformations of symmetric space strings. I will give an overview of these integrable models, their interpretation in terms of string theory, and their interpretation in AdS/CFT.
