UK-QFT
Important update: change of date for UK-QFT XI
The recently announced strike action affecting the UK rail network on the planned date of UK-QFT will make it difficult for many to travel to Cambridge. In order to allow the greatest fraction of participants to attend and interact in person, we have decided to postpone the meeting to Monday 9th January 2023.
About the UK-QFT meetings
The UK-QFT meetings provide a unique opportunity to bring together researchers from the UK communities (and overseas), who are working at the forefronts of quantum field theory (QFT) and quantum gravity research across high-energy physics, cosmology and astro-particle physics. Past topics have covered both perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of QFT, and included, for example, the quantum effective action, functional renormalization group approaches, non-equilibrium phenomena, phase transitions and topological defects (and all from the mathematical perspective of the underlying QFT description). Postgraduate students and post-doctoral researchers are strongly encouraged to attend and present their work through short accessible talks, providing an inspiring and informal environment for early-career researchers (as well as established academics) to engage with one another and the rest of the UK community. The meetings are held on a single day, and there are no registration fees, so as to ensure the widest possible participation.
