Workshop on Gauge Theory and String Theory

chaired by Thomas Gehrmann (Univ. Zürich) , Matthias Gaberdiel (ETH Zürich) , Babis Anastasiou (ETH Zürich) , Zoltan Kunszt (ETH Zürich)
from Wednesday 02 July 2008 at 09:00 to Friday 04 July 2008 at 18:00 (Europe/Berlin)
at ETH Zürich ( CAB G51 )
Description 
The meeting will explore the connections of gauge theories and string theory.
The topics will include recent developments in dualities, scattering amplitudes
in the perturbative and non-perturbative regime, integrability in gauge theories,
and the ultraviolet behavior of supergravity.
The meeting will consist of plenary talks, and there will be time allocated
for informal discussions.

The workshop is part of the programme on QCD and Strings. We hope that it
will help to maintain the recent enthusiasm in this rapidly developing field.
