The Helmholtz International Summer School "Physics of Heavy Quarks and Hadrons", organized by the Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, will be held from July 15 to 28, 2013 in Dubna. It continues a series of workshops and schools held in Dubna (1993, 1996, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2008) and Bad Honnef (1994) and Rostock (1997).

The School will cover the main topics in heavy flavor physics. It will provide a first hand opportunity to a good number of graduate students and postdocs in high energy physics to hear the latest results on heavy quark physics from all four experimental collaborations at the LHC (ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, ALICE) and from the B-factory at the KEK. We are aiming to provide the students by the theoretical lectures related directly to the results obtained at these experiments.

The lectures and talks in the School are suppossed to be at the level of PhD-students and postdocs.

We encourage all interested ones to register asap! Limited funding is available to support graduate students and postdocs. The decision on request support will be announced after May, 15.

The Proceedings of the Helmholtz International Summer School "Physics of Heavy Quarks and Hadrons", Dubna, July 15-28, 2013, will be published by help of DESY.
