The annual String Phenomenology conference discusses recent progress in compactifications of string theory and their relation to particle physics and cosmology.

Due to the global pandemic, String Phenomenology 2021 will take place virtually. In order to allow for maximum participation across the globe, the conference scope has been reduced to a few hours each day to ameliorate global time zone constraints. To compensate for this reduced scope, there is a weekly seminar series on String Phenomenology.


Topics include

  • Swampland and Quantum Gravity Conjectures 
  • Machine learning and AI techniques in string theory
  • Formal and mathematical aspects of string compactifications
  • String model building in particle physics and cosmology
