String theory is the leading candidate for unifying quantum gravity
with particle physics. The recent successes of string theory include
detailed connections with the physics of black holes, with strongly
coupled gauge theories, and with modern mathematics. In particular,
dualities between gauge theories and strings have produced new
insights into colour confinement and chiral symmetry breaking; they
also provide new approaches to non-perturbative definitions of
string theory. One of the main objectives of string theory is to make quantitative connections between string theory and experimental physics on microscopic and macroscopic scales, including particle physics in and beyond the Standard Model, and cosmological models of the early universe. During the workshop we plan to have regular seminars and discussions by the participants. During the first and the last weeks of the workshop there will also be two 3-day conferences open to a wider audience. The main topics of the workshop include:
