Description:

This is the 8th annual workshop on string field theory and related aspects (which in 2016 will include double field theory and topological strings) and previous workshops were held in China (2015), Italy (2014), Israel (2012), Czechia (2011), Japan (2010), Russia (2009), Germany (2008) .

The School on Fundamental Aspects of String Theory precedes this workshop, and candidates may apply either for one or both activities.
