Nordic String Meeting 2014

3 Feb 2014, 14:00 → 4 Feb 2014, 13:00 Europe/Berlin

lecture hall (MPI für Gravitationsphysik, Albert-Einstein-Institut, Golm)

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).
The workshop takes place in the lecture hall in the central building of the institute. See Maps & Directions for more information.
