Objective
The quest for a unified theory of all fundamental interactions (electro week, strong and gravitational), going beyond the so-called Standard Model of particle physics, has entered a crucial phase. The phenomenological studies of possible signals of new physics, at particle accelerators and elsewhere, have reached a high level of technical development and reliability, especially in the field of supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model, but still lack some firmer guiding principles. The field-theoretical studies of string theories and their generalizations, the present best candidates for a unified quantum theory of all the interactions (including gravity), have witnessed impressive developments in the last few years, with the development of new concepts such as non-perturbative dualities, D-branes, etc., but the phenomenological impact of these developments has not yet been worked out. We feel that the promotion of the cross talk between these two approaches is crucial to keep both of them healthy and to maximize their scientific output. The two high-level conferences being proposed want to achieve this goal by focussing on two hot and closely related topics in the present agenda of theoretical high-energy physicists: the flavour problem and the problem of supersymmetry breaking.
