Abstract: The Standard Model of particle interactions is an extremely successful theory of nature. It describes the electric, magnetic, weak and strong forces of nature. It fails however to take into account dark matter and can’t even explain why matter wins over antimatter. Last but not least the Standard Model does not take into account quantum gravity. It must therefore be extended. But what are the possible constraints coming from embedding the extension of the Standard Model in a consistent theory of quantum gravity? We will use string theory, as quantum gravity template, to deduce a number of conjectures and conditions on the type of extensions allowed for the Standard Model. This is the Swampland program. What is even more exciting is that the same physics underlying the fundamental forces of nature can be used to rationalize our understanding of infectious disease spreading and even help rationalizing virus mutations with impact on several realms of scientific enquiry.

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
