In the recent years, there were new developments and results in testing the predictions of low-scale string theories at LHC, in the construction of GUT theories starting from F-theory and in obtaining more realistic heterotic models. The purpose of our CERN-TH Institute is to bring together leading string, field theory experts and Beyond the Standard Model researchers, with a key interest in comparing various string and BSM ideas with the available existing LHC data.

This 3-week Institute is organized by the CERN's Theory Group.

Local Organization: I. Antoniadis, E. Dudas, G. Dvali, M. Goodsell and C. Vafa
