6th Mini symposium on Physics and Geometry

25-29 of May 2026, RBI Zagreb, Croatia

This meeting brings together theoretical physicists and mathematicians to discuss developments and exchange ideas on open problems at the intersection of mathematical physics, field theory, gravity and geometry. The format is a combination of a light program of talks and time for discussions and collaboration among participants.

The event will take place at the Ruđer Bošković Institute in Zagreb and it is upon invitation only. However, if you are interested in participating, please contact one of the organizers. There is no conference fee. Phishing alert: do not respond to emails (mainly offering to arrange accommodation for you) which are not sent directly by the organisers.

Together with the main event, this year we will dedicate two days of the mini-symposium to honour the achievements and contributions to mathematical physics of our friend and collaborator Richard Szabo on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
