Schedule
In NCTU HEP seminar we have a talk on string theory in every two weeks, see the scheule of NCTU String Group Web Site. And String Seminar of Taiwan String Theory Focus Group is held once a month at NCTS. Occationaly there are lecture series on a special topic. We also put information of talks in Hsinchu area which may be interesting for string theory oriented researchers or students. Also visit NCTS HEP Journal Club and NCTU HEP seminar.
