description: String theory is the candidate for the unification of all fundamental interactions including gravity. In the past few years this active field of research has developed very rapidly and in several different directions. The aim of the conference is to give an overview of the status of the art in string theory through the contributions of the major experts in this field. The main topics string unification and effective Lagrangians, N=2 string theories, 2-d quantum gravity, stringy black holes, topological field theory, conformal field theories, strings and quantum field theory.
