2022 NTU-Kyoto high energy physics workshop/Kawai Fest

17-20 December 2022, Department of Physics, National Taiwan University

The aim of this workshop is to discuss the latest exciting results of field theory, string theory and phenomenology brought by researchers from National Taiwan University (NTU) and Kyoto University (KU) working in these subjects from the various perspectives. This year we will also use this occasion to celebrate the work of Professor Hikaru Kawai, formerly a professor at Kyoto University until 2021, now Chin-Yu Chair Professor at National Taiwan University, who initiated this series of workshops between NTU and KU.

This workshop will be hosted as a part of research cooperation between National Taiwan University and Kyoto University.
