Seminars & workshops
Besides being involved in the organisation of the joint Belgian hep-th seminars, we organise local seminars, advanced lecture series and thematic or generic journal clubs. Moreover, we regularly organise international workshops in Mons and host international visitors.
Selected recent workshops:
- Workshop “FDA meets Generalised Geometry”, 29 September – 1 October 2025
- Workshop “Conformal higher spins, twistors and boundary calculus”, 30 June – 4 July 2025
- Gauge invariance: quantization and geometry – Workshop in memory of Igor Batalin, 9-12 September 2024
- Workshop “Twistors and Higher Spins”, 8-12 July 2024
- 5th Mons Workshop on Higher Spin Gauge Theories, 8-12 January 2024
- Be.HEP Summer Solstice 2023, 23 June 2023
