Nordic String Meeting 2013

6 Feb 2013, 14:00 → 7 Feb 2013, 13:00 Europe/Berlin

DESY Hamburg

This workshop continues the tradition of the annual Nordic String Theory Meetings. Participating institutes comprise the "nordic" places Berlin (HU), Bremen (Jacobs), Copenhagen (NBI), Göttingen, Hamburg (Uni/DESY), Hannover and Potsdam (AEI).

On Wednesday the workshop takes place in the seminar room in ZQO, building 90, next to the side gate at Luruper Chaussee. On Thursday it will be in seminar room 2 in building 2a. See Maps & Directions for more information.
