COVID-19 information for PI Residents and Visitors
Conference Date:
Monday, June 20, 2005 (All day) to Friday, July 8, 2005 (All day)
This will be the third in an ongoing series of annual summer schools in theoretical physics held in Canada. The firstand second editions of these schools will be held at the University of British Columbia.
These schools are intended to educate graduate students and young researchers on current developments in string theory and its interface with gravity and cosmology. Our intent in organizing the 2005 school at the Perimeter Institute at this time is that it will also offer the students the opportunity to attend the Strings 2005 conference, which will be held in Toronto in the week immediately following the school.
