Now we are in the LHC era, in which we anticipate new physics beyond the Standard Model. In this exciting time, we would like to have a workshop on physics in the flat and warped extra dimensions such as the gauge-Higgs unification, universal extra dimension, Higgsless, and holographic models.

Date: 12-14 December 2011Location: Sigma Hall, Osaka University (Toyonaka Campus), Osaka, Japan (see access page)
