The 12th Central European Seminar on Particle Physics and Quantum Field Theory, December 1-2,  2016 at the Natural History Museum Vienna, Austria, will be dedicated to the topic Physics of LHC Run-2.

The meeting is jointly organized by the Theoretical Physics Departments of the University of Vienna and TU Wien, as well as by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and supported by the Faculty of Physics of the University of Vienna, the FWF doctoral school Particles and Interactions and the EU COST Network Connecting insights in fundamental physics.

The seminar series was created 2004 and is intended to provide stimulating interactions between leading researchers and promising junior physicists. A considerable number of junior scientists participate in these meetings, and we receive special grants for them covering the hotel and part of the local expenses (see below). We particularly invite junior participants, including advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty to attend the meeting.

This year’s venue will be the Natural History Museum Vienna, Maria-Theresien Platz, 1010 Vienna, Austria. Participants will have free access to the Museum’s exhibitions. The conference fee is 50 EUR and is to be paid in cash at the registration desk.
