The focus program aims at enhancing collaboration between Korean and Asian theorists and top-flight international researchers in the field of Liouville theory, Branes and Integrability, broadly termed. These are the key topics which propelled impressive progress in string theory and related theoretical endeavors during the last three decades. Every year, new progress was made and pushed ahead the frontline of our understanding on these notoriously difficult subjects. Korea is well positioned in this field and core Korean participants are highly and widely recognized by the international string theory community. This year, we intend to focus on nonperturbative string compactification, superconformal field theories in various dimensions and their holography, nonperturbative approaches using refined topological vertices, string scattering amplitudes, instanton calculus, matrix model, and supersymmetric conformal bootstrap methods.
