The aim of this workshop is to discuss new methods and developments in string theory. By now this workshop is a tradition: we meet every two years to discuss exciting results in our community  in the beautiful city of Amsterdam.  We will try to decode black holes (those that burn and those that don't); we'll admire the elegance of exact results in supersymmetric theories and strongly coupled systems; recent development in string-pheno and cosmology; and last but not least, we'll hear the latest news about holography and its applications.

We will provide a relaxed and open environment. There will be plenty time for discussion among participants: our priority is to have the opportunity to create, collaborate and inspire!
