First Circular


KMI International Symposium 2013
on "Quest for the Origin of Particles and the Universe"
(KMI2013)

First Circular (2013/10/18)

In celebration of 2008 Nobel prize in physics for Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa, alumni of Nagoya University, Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI, http://www.kmi.nagoya-u.ac.jp) was founded at Nagoya University in 2010.

After the foundation, there have been various research activities in both theoretical and experimental studies of particle physics and astrophysics. The KMI International Symposium 2013 on "Quest for the Origin of Particles and the Universe" (KMI 2013) is organized to publish and spread the academic fruits in KMI and simultaneously to discuss the future plan for KMI.

Although talks are by invitation only, we would like to encourage participation of those who are interested.
