Double/Exceptional Field Theory and Non-geometry

[Luigi]

This is a general question (maybe stupid).

I am very interested in Double Field Theory, Exceptional Field Theory, Generalized Geometry and Non-geometries in general and I would like to do my PhD in this field. I know that it is quite popular at Imperial College London and at Max Planck Institute, but in other universities?
Which are the strongest research groups (in Europe) in this field?

Unfortunately, it is difficult to give a complete answer to this question since there are many research groups and universities that are conducting research in this field. However, some of the strongest research groups in Europe include:1. Imperial College London - This is one of the leading institutions in the field, with a strong focus on string theory and related areas.2. University of Cambridge - The Maths Department at Cambridge is home to one of the world's foremost experts on Exceptional Field Theory, Dr. Chris Hull.3. University of Amsterdam - The UvA is home to a number of leading researchers in the field of Generalized Geometry and Non-geometries, including Dr. Daniel Berman, Prof. Jean-Claude Hausmann, and Prof. Robbert Dijkgraaf.4. University of Utrecht - The Utrecht University houses a large research group focusing on Double Field Theory, led by Dr. Martin Cederwall.5. Max Planck Institute for Physics - The MPI for Physics is home to a number of experts in the field of String Theory, including Prof. Hermann Nicolai and Prof. Anton Kapustin.Finally, there are numerous other universities and research institutes in Europe that are active in this field, including the University of Paris, the University of Bonn, and the University of Zurich.
