DESCRIPTION:The prospect for observational tests of superstring unificatio
 n of thefundamental forces is explored. The unification of the gauge coupl
 ingsprovides quantitative support for an underlying unification and itssuc
 cess limits the possible new physics at high scales. In string theorythe u
 nification extends to the gravitational interaction and leads to afurther 
 quantitative prediction for the unification scale which isrelated to the P
 lanck scale. After including heavy threshold correctionsthe weakly coupled
  heterotic string prediction is in excellent agreementwith experiment. We 
 discuss the general profile of the underlying stringtheory which maintains
  this success and identify general features of theeffective low energy the
 ory that can be experimentally tested.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/
