II SEENET MTP School

SEENET MTP
(Southeastern European Network in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics)

II International School on Modern Trends in Mathematical Physics

06.09. - 11.09.2008, Varna, Bulgaria

Satellite activity of the EU RTN-network
`Basic Constituents, Fundamental Forces and Symmetries of the Universe'
annual meeting, 11 - 17 September 2008, Varna, Bulgaria

General Information

The school is intended to contribute to the interdisciplinary graduate training, to the internationalization of physics education of students and of talented young scientists by offering advanced graduate courses to be held in English. These courses include specialized topics covering latest developments in the fields of research within the scope of activity of the EU RTN and are intended to make the participation of young people in the RTN annual meeting more efficient. It is expected the participants to be mainly from the Balkan region and the EU RTN nodes, and also from regions outside both networks.

Participants and Financial Support

The school is open to all physics graduate and PhD students, and young researchers who may be interested in the topics (and of course senior scientists as well). We expect the majority of the participants to be from the region and Europe. The organizers will try to cover the expenses of students from the Balkan Network countries. A limited number of grants for other participants could also possible. Participants who need financial support should register as early as possible.
Participants from the Network node countries and outside the Network, applying for financial support, should state it in the registration form. A recommendation from the supervisor (addressed to the school e-mail) is welcome.
(Individual Grants - We encourage students eligible for support by EPS and EMS to apply directly for the individual grants.)
