Welcome to Strings 2008, which will be held at CERN in
the year during which the LHC starts
up. This conference, the largest and most important one on String
Theory, runs annually and
usually draws several hundred participants, mostly active researchers in
the field. The main purpose of the conference is to review the latest developments
for experts, but there will also be free
talks for the general public. For more details about the conference,
see the links on the left.
The lectures will take place in the CERN main
auditorium. All participants must register in
order to get admitted to the lecture hall. There will be about 40
talks, most of which are summaries of 30 minutes each, but each day there
will also be one or two more comprehensive, one hour review talks. The
speakers will be nominated by the committee,
and self-applications are discouraged. The precise schedule will be announced
on this web site shortly before the meeting.
