The workshop's scope focuses on string theory, gravitation, and theoretical cosmology. In particular, it pursues the inter-communication among those three fields. Also, a few observational cosmologists will be invited to report the recent observational results. In doing so, the theorists can come up with observational constraints in building the theoretical models.

The speakers present their recent progress and have intensive discussions from which the participants can build up collaborations in these fields. The contents of the workshop will provide young postdocs and students with a reasonable opportunity for tutorials for their research works.
