M-theory, gravity and geometry

We have been made aware of a convincing email scam that is focusing on our Programme and Workshop participants. Participants may receive an email from a firm called Expo Hotel Services (ehotelservices.org) to arrange accommodation for workshops and/or programmes. This might include a request to provide them with credit card information.

Please note, INI will never ask for your card details. We take all payments via the University of Cambridge Online store https://onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/.

If you have been contacted by this company please contact us as soon as possible.

Workshop theme

This is the third network meeting for the European Superstring Theory Network, and is sponsored by the European Union (HPRN-CT-2000-122) and by the Newton Institute. It will take place during the M-theory programme, which will run at the Newton Institute during the period 4 February to 19 July 2002.

During the week of the workshop the participants in the Newton Institute programme include: Atiyah, Aharony, Berkovits, Brunner, Das, Giveon, Hashimoto, Van Proeyen and Rey.
