Probably you will see a great interest on it from USA people and few or nothing from Europe people. At least that is the usual distribution in research centers often. String theory is also usualy publicited in journals and magazines (New York times) but i don see that publicity in typical European ones.
People in America takes string theory research like a class of "cold war". Instead of developing new bombs or airplanes for showing USA "supremacy", they are demonstrating his power like super country from science advances. Of course the rest of countries do jokes on real status of string theory. Number of people working in string theory at spain is small.
