OBJECTIVES: The workshop will cover a broad range of issues in high-energy theory. Contributions dealing purely with classical gravity and cosmology are redirected to the companion gr-qc workshop taking place at the same venue. The talks are expected to be informal and interactive, with a substantial pedagogical component. Presentations at the blackboard are strongly encouraged in preference to slides.

PRE- AND POST-WORKSHOP RESIDENCE PROGRAM: Participants are welcome to stay in residence before and after the workshop for informal communication and collaboration.
REGISTRATION: To register, please fill out the registration form.
VENUE: The workshop takes place at Chulalongkorn University, Thailand's leading school in the natural sciences, at the physics department in the Pathumwan district. The campus is centrally located in Bangkok, a few minutes' walk from the Sam Yan MRT station and from the National Stadium and Siam BTS stations. The talks are held on the 2nd floor of the SCI 26 / Anyamanee Building; see the arrival instructions for directions from either airport.

PRACTICALITIES:
Visas. Citizens of many countries, including the EU, US, UK, Japan, Korea, India, China and a number of Southeast Asian nations, enjoy visa-free entry to Thailand for stays of up to 60 days. Citizens of some other countries may obtain a visa on arrival for stays of up to 15 days.
Accommodation. Participants arrange their own accommodation, either through booking.com or directly with the hotel. Bangkok offers plentiful accommodation at all levels of luxury, priced considerably lower than the general international standards, and it is easy to find lodging within 1 km of the venue. We would advise against the luxurious corporate highrise hotels, which offer poor value for money in comparison to the many pleasant smaller establishments around the campus.
Climate. January is the most pleasant time of the year in Bangkok, pleasantly warm and sunny, comparable to summer in temperate countries.
