11th Odense Winter School on Theoretical Physics
This year’s annual Odense winter school will focus on recent technical advances in quantum field theory.
The lectures will span a broad range of topics covering resurgence, amplitudes, lattice SUSY, and EFT methods for gravitational waves. In this way much ground will be covered which we hope will benefit the student on his/her route to becoming an independent researcher. All lectures are given by experts in their fields.
Important dates
- October 31, 2018: Deadline for applying for financial support.
- October 31, 2018: Deadline for registering at the winter school.

Social Program
On Tuesday afternoon (Nov. 13) there will a guided tour of the old city of Odense.
If you wish to take part in the tour, you should sign up (free of charge) online in the registration form.
The social dinner of the school will take place on Tuesday evening at 18:30. You need to sign up and pay for the dinner before Nov. 12 (TBC). More information can be found in the Social Program.
