"KEK-PH lectures and workshops" is a form of KEK-PH workshop series at the time of Covid-19.
The annual KEK Theory Meeting on Particle Physics Phenomenology (KEK-PH) covers many topics in Particle Physics and Cosmology, from the Standard Model and models beyond it to particle cosmology and astrophysics. At the time of Covid-19, the KEK theory center is organizing an on-line lecture and workshop series, "KEK-PH lectures and workshops 2021."

The 5th KEK-PH on "Jet Physics"
The 4th KEK-PH on "New Ideas in Particle Physics"
We are now preparing a workshop on "New ideas in particle physics," on Nov. 16 and 17. This time, it is a joint workshop with Florida State University (co-organizer: Kosaku Tobioka). The topics cover cosmological solutions to the naturalness problems, swampland conjectures, as well as quantum gravity effects on low energy physics.
