Inauguration Symposium: Future Prospects of Particle Physics

Friday 28 Jun 2024, 09:00 → 17:30 Europe/Berlin

Max-Planck-Institut für Physik

The Max Planck Institute for Physics (MPP) has a new address. Our new building is located at the Garching Research Center in the immediate vicinity of three MPIs that were all spun off from the MPP: the MPIs for Astrophysics, Plasma Physics and Extraterrestrial Physics. On this occasion, we will host the Inauguration Symposium "Future Prospects of Particle Physics".

2 Michail Shifman (University of Minnesota)

10:20 Coffee break

3 Cumrun Vafa (Harvard University): Quantum Gravity and Predictions for our Universe

4 Francis Halzen (University of Wisconsin): The First Decade of Neutrino Astronomy.

12:05 Lunch

5 David Gross (UC Santa Barbara): My Bucket List

15:10 Coffee break

6 Laura Baudis (Universität Zürich): The nature of dark matter - a hundred years challenge

7 Bernd Sturmfels (MPI for Mathematics in the Sciences): The Quadratic Equation Revisited
