The String Math conference is an annual meeting that brings together researchers working at the interface of mathematics and physics, particularly in string theory, quantum field theory, and related areas. Recent advances in both fields have profoundly reshaped our perspectives and deepened the connections between them. This year, String Math 2025 will be held from June 23 to 28 at the Beijing Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Applications (BIMSA).
