We are happy to announce the second edition of the conference “Puzzles in the Quantum Gravity Landscape: viewpoints from different approaches”, which will be held at Graz University from the 14th to the 18th of September 2026. The first edition of this conference was held at Perimeter Institute in 2023.
This conference will bring together leading experts in different approaches to quantum gravity, gravitational effective field theory, black-hole physics, and cosmology. We will focus on specific puzzles in quantum gravity and their resolutions within various approaches. The conference will be highly interactive, with plenty of time to discuss common problems, understand the big picture, and develop novel connections between fields.
Confirmed speakers so far include Gianguido Dall’Agata, Anne-Christine Davis, Bianca Dittrich, Fay Dowker, Astrid Eichhorn, Roberto Emparan, Steffen Gielen, Alessandra Gnecchi, Andrea Guerrieri, Fedele Lizzi, Renate Loll, Roberto Percacci, Ana-Maria Raclariu, and Hanno Sahlmann.

Registration is now open and will close on June 30th.
