Nor-Amberd schools, initiated by Artem Alikhanyan in the beginning of 1960'th, were devoted to most actual problems of the time: to High Energy and Elementary Particle physics. They took place on slopes of mount Aragats in Armenia around historical area of Bagratid dynasty of Armenian kings: Hamberd castle. Many leading scientists of the world have given lectures there and many young scientist, who nowadays are well known in theoretical physicists, participated in school. We plane to restore Nor-Hamberd schools traditions and strength by addressing most actual problems in theoretical physics in a time.

Location:
The school will take place in Tsaghkadzor, a mountain resort about 65 km away from Yerevan and Zvartnots International airport.
