The George P. and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy

Strings, Branes and Holography

The George P. and Cynthia W. Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy is organizing a workshop on Strings, Branes and Holography, to be held from April 27 – May 1, 2015. This will be a small, informal gathering with about three talks per day, allowing plenty of opportunity for interactions and collaborations among the participants.


Travel Information

Easterwood Airport (CLL) is located only 2 miles from campus and offers daily flights from/to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

You may also wish to consider flying into Houston-area airports (George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH); William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) and complete the rest of the journey (100 miles) by rental car or airport shuttle. You can arrange shuttle service to & from Houston airports with GroundShuttle.


Hotel

The hotel we have booked is:
Hampton Inn College Station
320 Texas Avenue South
College Station, Texas, 77840
