"Conference on Geometry, Strings and the Swampland"

November 08 - 12, 2021

Ringberg Castle, Tegernsee

 

Venue

The conference will take place at Ringberg Castle, which is located on Mount Ringberg and overlooks Lake Tegernsee, one of the most picturesque locations to be found in all of southern Bavaria. The castle, which is owned and operated by the Max-Planck-Society, represents an ideal venue for scientific conferences, offering impressive architecture, displays of fine art, a music room, excellent food, spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, not to mention the fresh air and great walks. More specific information on the Ringberg Castle, including colored photographs, is available from Ringberg Castle site. The distance to the next village, Rottach-Egern, is about 3 km.

Covid19 measures:

We apply the (german) 2G rule, i.e. only fully vaccinated or recovered (serological test) people will be admitted to the castle. Documentation of 2G status must be shown upon arrival. This means that solely a negative PCR test is not sufficient. To further increase the safety of all participants we do a quick test (self-test) upon arrival. Moreover, in common areas and the lecture hall all people (except the speaker) have to wear a medical mask. During the three meals, while sitting at the table it can be removed.

Philosophy:

The workshop aims to cover some of the latest developments in string theory in general, and also specifically in the Swampland program.

The arrival date to the conference site is November 07 and the departure date is November 12 after lunch. Talks will start on Monday morning, November 08, and end at noon on Friday, November 12.
