Beyond4D
 
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), in collaboration with the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), will organize a Conference on Physics Beyond Four Dimensions. The goal of this conference is to discuss in detail various aspects of the higher dimensional theories with particular emphasis on their phenomenological consequences and experimental tests.
