The school "Physics at the Fundamental Frontier" included comprehensive series of lectures at the cutting edge of formal high-energy theory.The lectures provided in-depth coverage of quantum field theory, string theory and quantum gravity, and of the relations between these subjects. Additional lectures presented overviews of the recent advances in particle and collider physics, as well as gravitational physics and cosmology. The lectures, which were given over a period of four weeks, were attended primarily by the advanced graduate students specializing in theoretical high-energy physics at major universities in the US and abroad. The students also made research presentations and participated actively in the organized discussion sessions.
