Preface
The Trieste Summer School in High Energy Physics and Cosmology
provides an important forum whereby active physicists from the developing
countries have an opportunity to interact with experienced and often lead
ing researchers from across the globe in a stimulating environment. It also
happens to be one of the most comprehensive schools covering almost all of
the forefront topics. It has been convenient in recent years to "split" the
school into two parts. The first part of the 1995 school lasted three weeks and
covered in great depth the many exciting developments occurring in superstring
theories, duality and supersymmetric field theories. This part ended with an
intensive two-day workshop in which some of the participants presented talks
on their own reserach.
The second part of the school lasted four weeks and essentially covered the
most active research areas in high energy phenomenology as well as cosmology.
The increasingly important role that supersymmetry plays in phenomenology
was clearly brought out in the lectures. A number of discussion groups were
also formed and the participants played a key role in their success.
The smooth running of the school is largely due to the remarkable support
and help provided by the ICTP administration and staff. In this regard we
especially thank Professors Miguel Virasoro and Luciano Bertocchi.
