The CERN Winter School on Supergravity, Strings, and Gauge Theory is the analytic continuation of the yearly training school of the former EC-RTN string network "Constituents, Fundamental Forces and Symmetries of the Universe". The 2015 edition of the school is supported and organized by the CERN Theory Divison, and will take place from Monday February 2 to Friday February 6, at CERN.

As its predecessors, this school is meant primarily for training of doctoral students and young postdoctoral researchers in recent developments in theoretical high-energy physics and string theory. The programme of the school will consist of five series of pedagogical lectures, complemented by discussion sessions in the afternoons.

Previous schools in this series were organized in 2005 at SISSA in Trieste, and in 2006, 2007, 2008, 20092010, 20112012, 2013 and 2014 at CERN, Geneva.The school is funded by the CERN Theory Division, and the Arnold Sommerfeld Center at Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich.

Speakers: D. Baumann, M. Battaglia, F. Benini, C. Duhr, S. Raju, A. Sen

Scientific committee: N. Beisert, M. Blau, M. Gaberdiel, N. Lambert, D. Luest, M. Marino, A. Sevrin, J. Simon, K. Stelle, S. Theisen, A. Van Proeyen
