A Workshop on Four Dimensional String Physics

Focusing on Four Dimensional String Vacua, the workshop will discuss the theory and phenomenology of string vacua with emphasis on understanding the landscape of vacua, string model building and the path from string vacua to LHC physics and cosmology.

The main idea of the workshop is to highlight important new developments and problems and to stimulate discussion of these through a small number of daily talks and discussion sessions.
