Over the past few years there has been a large inflow of researchers in fundamental physics from across the world into the UK. The aim of the proposal is to provide a stimulating environment for cross fertilization between the three main areas of fundamental physics: string theory, gravity and quantum field theory. The previous FPUK meeting in November 2007 at King's College London was widely regarded to be a success and therefore we wish to build on this and organize a second meeting in November 2008. The following speakers have tentatively agreed to talk:James Sparks (Oxford)Sean Hartnoll (UCSB) Carlos Nunez (Swansea)Luigi del Debbio (Edinburgh)Andy Parker (Cambridge)We also expect to include a sixth speaker however we wish to keep this slot open to allow for current developments.The meeting will be organized to allow for a good deal of interaction surrounding a selected number of talks. The aim of the talks will be to provide a pedagogical synopsis of the current 'hot' research topics. However there will also be significant periods of informal discussion, including both an active discussion centered on the talks as well as time for private discussions. As originally envisioned this meeting is the second in what is planned to be a regular, annual, series of meetings. The overall aim of these meeting will be to create dynamic and informal research environment from which all UK researchers will benefit.

在过去的几年里，来自世界各地的基础物理研究人员大量涌入英国。该提案的目的是为基础物理学的三个主要领域：弦理论、引力和量子场论之间的交叉施肥提供一个刺激的环境。2007年11月在伦敦国王学院举行的前一次FPUK会议被广泛认为是成功的，因此我们希望在此基础上，于2008年11月组织第二次会议。以下发言人已初步同意发言：詹姆斯·斯帕克斯（牛津）肖恩·哈特诺尔（UCSB）卡洛斯努涅斯（斯旺西）路易吉·德尔德比奥（爱丁堡）安迪帕克（剑桥）我们还希望包括第六位发言人，但我们希望保持这个位置开放，以考虑到当前的发展。会议将被组织，以允许围绕选定的一些会谈进行大量的互动。讲座的目的是提供一个当前“热门”研究课题的教学大纲。然而，也将有重要的非正式讨论时间，包括以会谈为中心的积极讨论以及私人讨论时间。正如最初设想的那样，这次会议是计划举行的一系列定期年度会议中的第二次会议。这些会议的总体目标将是创造一个充满活力和非正式的研究环境，所有英国研究人员都将从中受益。
