This is the 8th annual workshop on string field theory and related aspects (which in 2016 will include double field theory and topological strings) and previous workshops were held in China (2015), Italy (2014), Israel (2012), Czechia (2011), Japan (2010), Russia (2009), Germany (2008).

The School on Fundamental Aspects of String Theory precedes this workshop, and candidates may apply either for one or both activities.

The goal of this Summer School is to explore how physical concepts and tools expand our understanding of the complex functions and organization of living systems. By bringing together leading scientists who work at the interface of both disciplines, the School will offer a comprehensive view of some of the more interesting open problems in Biology and how they can be approached (and experimentally tested) from a physics perspective.
