Symmetry 2021 - The 3rd International Conference on Symmetry
the chairs
Dear Colleagues,
This third edition of the International Conference on Symmetry, supported by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the MDPI journal Symmetry, sponsored by The Foundational Questions Institute (FQXi) and Center for Advanced Studies in Mathematics, will be held entirely online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, from 8 August to 13 August 2021.
We welcome interdisciplinary interaction between different fields of science and we intend to follow in the footsteps of Hermann Weyl, a man responsible for important progress in the field of symmetry in math and physics. He expressed great interest in symmetry in many additional fields of science, as explored in his eye opening book "Symmetry". As expressed by Weyl, symmetry is a fundamental phenomenon in nature and all sciences. This event, therefore, aims to promote the discussion and exchange of cutting edge knowledge and ideas of symmetry in a variety of subjects ranging from physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science, to biology.
Symmetry 2021 is a follow up to two very successful conferences, entitled "Symmetry 2017—The First International Conference on Symmetry", held in October 2017 in Barcelona, Spain, and "Symmetry 2019—The Second International Conference on Symmetry" in Benasque, Spain.
Registration is free for the submission and the live sessions.
Organizational questions and sponsorship opportunities can be directed to the Secretariat (symmetry2021@mdpi.com), and content questions should go to Prof. Eduardo Guendelman.
We look forward to having you join us at this exciting event.
Best regards
Eduardo Guendelman
