Europe/Rome Note: ICTP has suspended all educational activities from 24 February up to 26 June as precautionary measures due to COVID-19; more details at https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/2020/2/ictp_suspend_activities.aspx The workshop will cover novel methods developed to understand non-perturbative phenomena in quantum field theory and quantum gravity, in the non-supersymmetric realm. The topics include the formulation of non-perturbative dualities in QFT and their application in condensed matter systems; the study of symmetries and their anomalies, including the most modern incarnations, and the constraints they put on the non-perturbative dynamics; the investigation of quantum information theoretic methods and their interplay with QFT concepts like causality, entanglement entropy, and so forth; the analysis of aspects of the swampland, through the application of string theory to phenomenological and cosmological problems. The topics will be spread over two weeks of the workshop roughly according to the order they are listed. Each day there will be 1-2 long talks and possibly a discussion session. Most of the talks will include a pedagogical overview of the subject. There will be ample time left for discussion and the initiation of new collaborations. Topics: Dynamics of non-supersymmetric QFTs Generalized symmetries and their anomalies Quantum information in QFT and quantum gravity Swampland conjectures and quantum gravity Grants: A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants, with priority given to participants from developing countries.

Europe/Rome IMPORTANTE NOTICE: SCAM ALERT! ICTP has been reported cases of unsolicited phone calls from a travel agency pretending to make hotel reservations on behalf of its activitiesl: Please do NOT disclose any sensitive information, it is a fraudulent attempt to collect credit card data! No agency has been delegated to take care of accomodation arrangements for this activity, and communications on this matter will occur through official channels only. In case of any doubt, or should you receive any similar request, please contact the local organization or ICTP Secretariat at smr3458@ictp.it - - - Update as of 31 March 2020: ASP2020 has been postponed due to ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Organizers plan to hold the school at a later moment, still to be determined. - - - The aim of the Biennial Africal School of Fundamental Physics and Application is to build capacity to harvest, interpret, and exploit the results of current and future physics experiments and to increase proficiency in related applications. The school is based on a close interplay between theoretical, experimental, and applied physics. The participating students are selected from all over Africa. A limited number of grants are available to support the attendance of selected participants. The school also offers a workshop to train high school teachers, an outreach to motivate high school pupils and a physics conference to support a broader participation of African research faculties. The duration of the school allows for networking-interactions among the participants. Access and participation in fundamental science is an important right. Through this work, it is hoped that the community of scientists who are at the forefront of science is enhanced and diversified thus fulfilling the mission of international research and education. Main topics: 1. Nuclear and Particle Physics; 2. Astrophysics and Cosmology; 3. Accelerators, Radiation and Medical Physics; 4. Material Physics; 5. High Performance Computing; 6. Physics Education; 7. Physics Communciation; 8. Renewable Energies and Energy Efficiency; 9. Quantum Information There will be lectures / talks in theory and experiment in the above fields, some of which are applied physics, and hands-on exercises on computing-related aspects.
