BW2003 WORKSHOP

Mathematical, Theoretical and Phenomenological Challenges Beyond the Standard Model:

PERSPECTIVES OF BALKANS COLLABORATION

 

29 August - 02 September, 2003

VRNJACKA BANJA, SERBIA


General Information

 

The Workshop will be held in Vrnjacka Banja right after the Fifth General Conference of the
Balkan Physical Union
. Local coorganizer of the Workshop is Section of Serbian Physical Society Nis

GOALS

The purpose of the workshop is to foster the communication
among the researchers in the Balkans region and also between
them and their colleagues elsewhere in the world.

The principal idea is to create the opportunity for the researchers
working in the general area of high energy physics at different
institutions in the Balkans countries to showcase their work and
present their results. This will help create a supportive environment
eventually facilitating the establishment of new, closer collaborative
ties and strenghtening the existing regional and interregional collaborations.
Such enhanced communication and collaboration between individuals involved in
research in high energy physics in the region will encourage closer contacts
and cooperation between their faculties, universities and institutes, initiating
an exchange of scientific personnel and enabling joint applications for support
and participation in international projects.

Science has already transcended national borders, and our ultimate hope is that
the effect of scientific integration will also have positive influence on the
society in the Balkans in general.
