Hit a wall? Take a holographic view: NewScientist article on ESF's HoloGrav Research Networking Programme
A great read which explains how string theorists and particle physicists from 13 European countries discuss the new uses of holography to tackle some of the most intractable problems in physics.
Holographic methods for strongly coupled systems (HoloGrav)
This Holograv Network will orient research efforts to further the interdisciplinary aspects of the gauge/gravity duality, both in its formal aspects and in its applications to particle physics and condensed matter physics.
Members of this collaboration are leaders in the formal developments that attempt to prove and widen the conjecture, using string theory techniques and the integrability of certain gauge theories.
Collaboration members also include world experts in the exploitation of this new computational tool to the strong nuclear force, hadronic physics, heavy ion collisions and condensed matter systems including high temperature superconductivity.
