The year 2007 marked not only the centenary of Imperial College London but also the 50th anniversary of the late Nobel Laureate Professor Abdus Salam's arrival at the College. Accordingly, a conference entitled Salam + 50" organized by the Theoretical Physics Group was held at Imperial College on 7 July 2007.
