The Kavli Asian Winter School (KAWS) on Strings, Particles and Cosmology is a pan-Asian collaborative effort of high energy theorists from China, India, Japan and Korea to give young researchers in Asia an opportunity to come together and learn about the latest developments in high energy theory from leading experts on the subject.
This school is aimed towards advanced graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and active researchers in the field. This is the 17th in a series of Asian Winter Schools that have been organized on a rotating basis between China, Japan, Korea and India. We welcome students from all of these participating countries as well as students from outside.
The previous Asian Winter Schools in this series have provided young researchers with opportunity for discussions with leading experts in diverse areas and also for initiating collaboration with other young researchers from different countries. We hope that KAWS 2023 will continue this tradition.
Due to the covid 19 pandemic, the meeting will take a mixed format of in-person and online. Prof. Vafa will give online lectures while all other lecturers will present the lectures in person. We will have only an in-person session for gong show and posters.
