Formal theory - Professor Daniel Litim - University of Sussex
Professor Litim will give an extended talk covering some of the intriguing aspects of the formal structures that form the basis of modern QFTs and beyond in theoretical physics.

Aspects of Gauge-Strings duality
Professor Nunez will discuss general aspects of dualities, with a view towards AdS/CFT. On the duality between gauge fields and strings, he will elaborate on models dual to conformal field theories in different dimensions. Professor Nunez will touch upon deformations away from the conformal points into QFTs of some phenomenological interest.

Lattice QCD calculations for Muon g-2
One of the most promising quantities for the search of signatures beyong the Standard Model of Particle Physics is the anomalous magnetic moment g-2 of the muon, where a comparison of the experimental result with the Standard Model estimate yields a deviation of about 3.5 sigma. On the theory side, the largest uncertainty arised from the hadronic sector, where the leading contribution is given by the hadronic vacuum polarisation. The only known approach for an ab-initio treatment of the hadronic contributions to muon g-2 is a numerical method known as lattice QCD. In this talk Dr Gulpers will give an introduction to lattice QCD and discuss the status of lattice calculations for muon g-2.

Model building in the LHC era
In this lecture Profesor Sanz will explain how the ideas for model building have evolved as a result of the experimental results in the last decade. We will talk about the main prevailing ideas for the Higgs and the Dark Universe.
Outreach in physics - Dr Sadie Jones - University of Southampton
Outreach in physics - Dr Sadie Jones - University of Southampton
Doing physics outreach is life changing
At the start of Sadie's PhD in Astrophysics she had done very little science outreach work; she was shy and hated any form of public speaking. But now her job is the 'Astronomy Public Engagement Leader', so public engagement, outreach and public speaking is now her fulltime job. In this talk Sadie will explain how doing outreach during her PhD studies totally transformed her career and her self-confidence. She will also talkabout how members of her outreach team have used their new science communication skills to secure jobs in data science and PR industries
