About:

An ICMS Meeting for Peace

This is a two-week research school under the ICMS Mathematics for Humanity programme, facilitating interaction between researchers from China, India, and the UK. The programme holds numerous potential benefits for academic research, dissemination, and fostering collaboration. The vision is that this is the first in a series of schools, conferences, and workshops rotating between China, India and the UK.

The first week will consist of pedagogical overviews and tutorials of topics in string theory and mathematical physics. There will be a more intensive workshop-style atmosphere in the second week to give participants an overview of contemporary research topics. The lecturers include Rajesh Gopakumar, Sergei Gukov, Yu-Tin Huang, Song He*, Alok Laddha, Hong Liu*,  Nikita Nekrasov*, Shu-Heng Shao*. 

The level of the school is aimed to benefit early career researchers. Postdoctoral researchers and advanced graduate students working in string theory and mathematical physics in India, China, and the UK are invited to apply using the application form linked below. A small number of junior faculty may also be admitted. 

Participation
To apply to attend the School, please submit your application via the 'apply now' button above. The application deadline is 16 December 2024 and no late applications will be accepted. Participants who require funding in order to attend are encouraged to apply early.  Please note all successful participants will be required to pay a 250.00 GBP registration fee.  Applicants will be contacted by ICMS once the scientific organisers have reviewed all applications and, if offered a place at the School, will be advised at that stage what support will be offered. 

Please note, invited speakers and scientific organisers should not apply via this application form; they will received a separate email invitation directly from ICMS in due course.
