The Modave Summer School on Mathematical Physics is a yearly summer school in topics of theoretical physics ranging from quantum gravity and cosmology to theoretical particle physics and string theory. In this 2023 edition, the school takes again place at its traditional venue in Modave, a charming village in the Belgian countryside. The Modave School is organised by PhD students for PhD students, and this makes it rather unique. The courses are taught by Post-Docs or late PhD students, and they are all made of pedagogical, basic blackboard lectures about recent or fundamental topics in theoretical physics. Lectures of the XIX edition focus on the following topics: AKSZ sigma models, Exceptional field theory, de Sitter space thermodynamics and holography, Carrollian physics and Phases of matter.
