    Description
    The possibilities for the gravity localisation on the brane in the context of supersymmetric theories will be discussed. We will establish that at present there is no supersymmetric embedding available of the Rundall-Sundrum scenario, which would remove the fine-tuning of the original version. We will review some more recent 'brane world proofs' of the vanishing of the cosmological constant on the brane.
