FPUK Edinburgh Festival 2025

10 Jun 2025, 09:00 → 12 Jun 2025, 16:00 Europe/London

Yew Lecture Theatre (Edinburgh)

This coming June the Higgs Centre will co-host the next meeting of the Fundamental Physics UK series. This is an event allowing the physics theory community in the UK within the STFC remit to interact, share knowledge and foster new collaborations. The meeting will discuss recent developments in String/M-theory, Supersymmetry, Quantum Field Theory, Gravity and related topics.

Accommodation will be provided at Holland House | UOE Accommodation for UK-based participants. 75 rooms have been reserved from Monday 9th of June - Thursday 12th of June and will be available on a first come first served basis.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer any support for participants outside the UK.  All participants are required to cover their own travel costs. The meeting is sponsored by the STFC Virtual Theory Centre.
