Parma  School of Theoretical  Physics

 SNFT06

 September 5 - 15, 2006

Parma, Italy



 

The XV Parma School in Theoretical Physics (formerly Seminario Nazionale di Fisica Teorica)  has been held  on the University Campus from September 5 to 15.  The School aims at promoting a common background in Quantum Field Theory, in its foundational aspects, in its applications to Particle Physics, in current research toward a unified theory. The School consists of academic lectures in the morning, for a total of 40 hours, and afternoon discussion sessions. There is plenty of time for other activities in the Campus of Parma University, sports, culture, local interests. The School, for the first time this year is open to students from all countries. Official language will be English.

This page will be on line even after the School in order to keep the documentation available to everybody.
