FAU² Workshop on quantum gravity across scales: from physics at the Planck scale to effective theories

We’re pleased to announce that the FAU² Workshop on Quantum Gravity is returning this year, following the success of last year’s edition!

🗓 May 20–22, 2025

📍 FAU Erlangen–Nürnberg, ECAP Laboratory

This seminar brings together speakers working across a range of quantum gravity approaches—including canonical and covariant Loop Quantum Gravity, Group Field Theory, and Asymptotically Safe Gravity—to explore how Planck-scale physics might leave observable traces at low energies.

Topics include effective descriptions in cosmology and gravitational collapse, modified gravity, and the role of quantum reference frames in macroscopic phenomena. A key focus will be on comparing methods for accessing the low-energy sector and identifying potential signatures of quantum gravity across different scales.
