Gravity, Supersymmetry and Branes:
A Meeting in Celebration of Kellogg Stelle's 60th Birthday
Imperial College London, April 24-25th 2008
Programme
The conference will focus on the latest research in the fields of Gravity, Supersymmetry, Supergravity, String theory and Branes, and will celebrate the career and achievements of Professor Kellogg Stelle, one of the UK's leading scientists in these fields. The dates are April 24-25 2008, and it will be held at Imperial College, London. There will be a series of talks on each day with a dinner on April 24.
Lectures will be held in Lecture Theatre 1 on level 3 of the Blackett Laboratory (building 6 on this map). Participants are asked to register during the morning of April 24th at the desk outside the lecture theater. The registration desk will be open from 9am. For those attending the dinner a payment of £30 in cash for themselves and each guest will be required at the same time, on the morning of April 24th.
