Quantum Gravity Gatherings will offer an intensive lecture series on various approaches to quantum gravity as an opportunity for people of different generations and disciplines to learn and share ideas.

Objectives

What is space-time? How did the universe begin? Various approaches exist toward theories of quantum gravity that can answer such fundamental questions. Each approach has its own strengths and weaknesses and should capture, at least partially, some essential aspect of quantum gravity. It may be a way of thinking or a computational method. But they are studied almost independently, and there seem to be a few opportunities to discuss their relationships and share their ideas. Therefore, it should be effective and fruitful to learn about various aspects of quantum gravity in different approaches, whether fashionable or not, and to freely combine them to reconsider quantum gravity from various angles. Quantum Gravity Gatherings will offer an intensive lecture series on various approaches to quantum gravity as an opportunity for people of different generations and disciplines to learn and share ideas.
