The 16th International Conference on Supersymmetry
and the Unification of Fundamental Interactions

June 16 - 21, 2008
Seoul, Korea || The COEX Center

SUSY08 will be hosted in Seoul, Korea during June 16-21, 2008. The 16th annual conference will be held at the COEX center located in the Gangnam district, a new downtown in the southeastern part of Seoul.

Since its inception in 1993, this annual SUSY conference has become the world's largest international meeting devoted to new ideas in high energy physics. The main subject of the conference is theoretical and phenomenological aspects of supersymmetric theories. However, as the conference lasts, it has been encompassing more diverse subjects, including non-supersymmetric models such as extra dimensions, strongly interacting Higgs sector, flavor physics and CP violation, neutrino physics, dark matter and dark energy, and other cosmological connections. New interesting results from various experimental groups are increasingly presented at the conference as well.

SUSY08 takes place right after the first beams are circulated at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Once the LHC starts to run, many important issues listed above can be tested experimentally. With roughly 200 plenary and parallel presentations, SUSY08 will lively deliver energy and enthusiasm of both theorists and experimentalists who are searching the frontier of high energy physics.

There is a limited amount of financial support for graduate students, young postdoctors and those who do not have their own research grants. We would be able to reimburse the registration fee (350,000 KRW) if your talk proposal is accepted by the convenors and you deliver the talk at parallel sessions. Please indicate that you apply for the financial support in the registration form. Since this fund is limited, the support will be granted in order of the application dates.
