The MITP Summer School 2025 on "Frontiers and Challenges in Lattice Gauge Theory" will feature internationally recognized scientists giving lectures focusing on the exciting developments in lattice gauge theory and related fields such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. The school is aimed at advanced graduate students in theoretical physics specializing in lattice gauge theory.
We expect to accommodate ~50 students from around the world at the Erbacher Hof in downtown Mainz. The registration fee will include shared-room housing at the Erbacher Hof, full board for the weekdays and breakfast on weekends, as well as a selection of group and touristic activities in the Mainz region. Lecturers will also be housed at the Erbacher Hof, ensuring a dynamic environment for students to engage with peers and senior physicists.
Applications will be open in the beginning of March and the application deadline will be April 21, 2025.
