We are very happy to announce the Nordita Scientific Program “Quantum Gravity: from gravitational effective field theories to ultraviolet complete approaches” that will take place at Nordita (Stockholm, Sweden) from the 29th of July to the 23rd of August 2024:

The main objective of this Program is to assess our current understanding of the interplay between gravity and quantum physics by addressing central questions, contrasting different approaches, and permitting a genuine exchange of ideas. In addition to focusing on formal aspects of several quantum gravity approaches, their applications in the context of cosmology and black hole physics will be discussed.
The program is structured as follows:
Week 1: PhD School “Towards Quantum Gravity” (topics: Perturbative quantum gravity, Effective field theory, Non-perturbative renormalization group, String theory, Quantum cosmology, and Quantum black holes)
Week 2: Workshop on Formal Aspects and Consistency of Quantum Gravity Approaches, part I
Week 3: Workshop on Formal Aspects and Consistency of Quantum Gravity Approaches, part II
Week 4: Workshop on Quantum Gravity Phenomenology
During the workshops, individual talks will be complemented by discussion sessions that will help to make the event more interactive and productive, so as to become the source of constructive debates and new insights towards a deeper understanding of gravitational physics at fundamental scales. Talks are by invitation only.
Registration is now open for both in-person and virtual participation. The deadline to register for in-person participation is June 9th 2024. In-person participation is subject to approval due to limited capacity.
