Description

This special day is an informal celebration of the career and scientific contributions  on "Gravity, Geometry and Symmetry" of our colleague and friend Pietro Frè, who has turned 70 and will retire in November 2022.

 

The scientific program includes talks by Ugo Bruzzo (SISSA, Trieste), Riccardo D'Auria (PoliTO, Torino), Dario Martelli (Unito, Torino), Hermann Nicolai (Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, Potsdam-Golm), Toine van Proeyen (KU Leuven), Augusto Sagnotti (SNS, Pisa), Mario Trigiante (PoliTO, Torino) and Alberto Zaffaroni (MiB, Milano). There will be time for few other short contributions by some of his collaborators/students/friends and concluding remarks by Pietro.

 

The talks will be streamed on Zoom (the link will be published later).

 

The registration is necessary for those who plan to attend in-person  and those who want to take part in the social dinner.

 

Please contact Anna Ceresole (INFN Turin), Leonardo Castellani (UPO Alessandria) or Carlo Angelantonj (Unito) if you need help to attend the event or you would like to leave a special note for Pietro.
