Summary
The SEWM conference series provides a biennial gathering at which recent developments in the theoretical study of the electroweak and strong forces under extreme conditions, such as those occurring in the Early Universe or in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions, are discussed. This year's meeting is co-organised by the Albert Einstein Center for Fundamental Physics at the University of Bern, by the Theory Division at CERN, by the Institute of Theoretical Physics at EPFL Lausanne, and by the Institute for Theoretical Physics at ETH Zürich.
