    General Information: The aim of the NITP School is to present topics in Theoretical Physics at a level suited to postgraduate students and to researchers who may not necessarily be specialists in the discipline. To this end they are meant to be a school and not a conference or workshop, with a mix of both lecture series intended to develop topics starting from a relatively introductory level, and single talks on more specific contemporary subjects of interest.

    Program:
    Lecture program available here.

    Location:
