The study of thermalization has become an especially hot topic of research in the past several years, and there are multiple advanced workshops on the subject. However, these have been aimed at experts in the field. There is a clear need for an instructional program targeted at educating junior researchers across the disciplines including statistical mechanics, hard and soft condensed-matter physics, biophysics, nuclear physics, string theory, and quantum information theory. This program, in the format of a school, aims at promoting an intensive discussion of thermalization ranging from its conceptual foundations to modern-day applications in complex condensed matter systems, quantum information theory, and string theory. Such a school will serve multiple purposes. First, it will train a cohort of junior researchers to approach the open problems in the field from an interdisciplinary perspective. Second, by bringing together speakers and researchers who work on various aspects of th...
