The workshop will take place from the 30th January to the 3rd of February 2017 at Departamento de Física e Astronomia, Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade do Porto. Porto is the second largest town in Portugal.

This workshop will address various aspects of noncommutative geometry (NCG) as covered by the COST Action MP1405 “Quantum Structure of Spacetime (QSpace)”:

  • Connection of NCG with realistic phenomenological models, including the Standard Models of Particle Physics and Cosmology
  • New constructions of fields, matter and quantum spacetimes in NCG
  • Connections between NCG and other models of gravity
