In this talk\, I discuss the possibility that Enriques surf aces play an analogous role in non-supersymmetric string theory\, as sugge sted in my recent paper [arXiv:2601.22058].\nAn Enriques surface is closel y related to K3 as a smooth quotient\, but it naturally leads to compactif ications without supersymmetry. Moreover\, like K3\, it has orbifold limit s where perturbative string descriptions are available. These special poin ts provide a controlled starting point for exploring non-supersymmetric mo dels.\nI will explain why this geometry gives a natural basis for expectin g dual descriptions\, and how Enriques surfaces may offer a useful framewo rk for studying which aspects of string duality survive without supersymme try. If time permits\, I will also mention our new results on heterotic st rings compactified on Enriques surfaces\, based on joint work with Elisa M arieni. LOCATION:721 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
