The Nor-Amberd schools, initiated by Artem Alikhanyan in the early 1960s, were devoted to some of the most important problems of the time in high-energy and elementary-particle physics. They were held on the slopes of Mount Aragats in Armenia, near Amberd, a medieval fortress associated with the Bagratid dynasty of Armenian kings. Many leading scientists from around the world lectured there, and many young participants later became prominent theoretical physicists. Our aim is to revive the tradition and spirit of the Nor-Amberd schools by bringing together young researchers and established scientists to discuss current problems in theoretical physics.

Location:
This year, the school will take place in Tsaghkadzor, a mountain resort approximately 65 km from Yerevan and Zvartnots International Airport.
