String Theory seminars
Our group hosts or participates in various regular events:
- local String theory seminars, held at CPHT every other Thursday morning, see list below and our group event calendar.
- the Rencontres Théoriciennes, a joint seminar between the various String theory groups in the Paris are, held every other Thursday morning at Institut Henri Poincaré in Paris. You can find out the upcoming program on Semparis.
- Journal Club "Quantum Black Holes on the Plateau", held at CPHT every other Friday afternoon.
