String Theory Seminar

The string theory group holds seminars on a near weekly basis during the semester. Speakers are invited to the ITP to give a talk based on their current research.

The talks are held in a 30+45 minute format. The first 30 minutes are an informal introduction to the topic, aimed at masters and PhD students, to provide context to those who are not active researchers in the field. The seminar talk itself comprises the remaining 45 minutes.
