Overview
The Pre-Workshop School for the XXIII Annual Workshop on Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) will take place in Seoul, Republic of Korea, from February 26 to 28, 2026, at KIAS (Korea Institute for Advanced Study).
The Pre-Workshop School program for students and young researchers will cover essential aspects of SCET, as well as QCD and its effective theories.
Deadline for on-site participation is February 10, 2026. Students who wish to apply for financial support must register and send the application until December 31, 2025 (deadline extended). There are separate registrations for the Pre-Workshop School and the main workshop.
