Estimados Colegas y Amigos,

Tenemos el agrado de anunciar la realización del evento de conmemoración
de los 10 años de la Red de Física Teórica Strings en ar:

"Ten Years of the Strings en ar Network Workshop"

Se realizará durante dos días, incluyendo seminarios de 30 minutos y 5
minutos de preguntas. El primer día será el martes 16 de julio en la
CCT-La Plata, en calle 8 entre 62 y 63, La Plata. El segundo día será el
miércoles 17 de julio, en el IAFE, Ciudad Universitaria de la Universidad
de Buenos Aires.

En este mismo mensaje adjuntamos el anuncio general y el programa.

Esperamos verlos en el workshop. Un cordial saludo,

"Ten Years of the Strings en ar Network Workshop"


This workshop is organized to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the
Argentinean Network for String Theory and Theoretical Physics, Strings en ar.

Since its beginning in June 2003, the Strings en ar network hosted more than
fifty one-day meetings, including more than two hundred seminars delivered
by specialists. There are more than fifty senior and junior Argentinean
researchers, post-docs and research students, working in the country and
abroad, who are associated with this network. During the last ten years
the Strings en ar network has served as a natural framework to develop joint
seminars between the string theory groups at the Universities of La Plata
and Buenos Aires. The Strings en ar network organized several national and
international conferences: the Ten Years of AdS/CFT conference (Buenos
Aires, Dec 2007), the International School in Quantum Gravity (La Plata,
July 2010), the Quantum Gravity in the Southern Cone V conference (Buenos
Aires, July 2010), the Workshop on Applications of Holography (La Plata,
Nov 2011) and the Advanced Topics on String Theory Workshop (Buenos Aires,
Nov 2012).

This workshop will bring together theoretical physicists, post-docs and
advanced research students working on different areas of theoretical
physics, including string theory, gravity, cosmology, quantum field
theory, theoretical particle physics and phenomenology. It will be held at
the Science and Technology Centre at the city of La Plata (Centro
Científico Tecnológico-CCT La Plata), which belongs to the National
Scientific Research Council (CONICET) of Argentina, on July 16th; and at
the Instituto de Astronomía y Física del Espacio (IAFE-CONICET) at the
University of Buenos Aires campus, on July 17th.

The program is as follows.
