from the 15th to 17th of February 2021

Junior
Duality and Integrability
Workshop

online

We thank all attendants for contributing to the success of this workshop. The research overview talks can be found on our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwLZZ1kD2mZzQkh_ttEGilA/featured

Hopefully in the future we can have a nice repository of introductory videos for researchers who want to start in, or want to know more about, the fields of Duality Invariant Formalisms and relations to Integrability.

Stay tuned!

The goal of this online workshop is to introduce foundational subjects for early career researchers interested and/or working in the fields of duality invariant formalisms, integrable models, and related subjects.

Furthermore, PhD students can apply here to get the opportunity to present their work in a gong-show format. To complement scientific discussions, two talks will offer guidance on how you can shape your future in- or outside academia. Finally, participants will be given a platform through slack channels and gather.town in order to ask questions freely and network together, both during the workshop and--perhaps--in the future.
