Summer Institute 2010 (Cosmology & String)


Summer Institute 2010 is the third summer workshop at Fuji-Yoshida for cosmologists and string theorists. The aim of this workshop is to provide an occasion where the researchers from the two areas gather at a single place to initiate an intensive and systematic research on various topics of their common interest. It is sponsored by the Grant-in-Aid for Creative Scientific Research "Superstring Theory and Creation of Universe" (project #19GS0219, Principal Investigator: Tohru Eguchi).

The workshop takes place at a seminar house in Fuji-Yoshida city, one of the most popular summer resorts in Japan at the foot of Mt. Fuji. The place has a panoramic view of the mountain as well as an extensive lawn suitable for sports and recreational activities. We hope the calm and refreshing environment will help concentrating on the research and facilitate discussions of people from different areas in physics.
