About

This is a regular yearly conference organized from 2021. Previously it was organized online due to COVID regulations and now we are delighted to hold it in person and make finally a real scientific meeting. It was jointly co-organized in different years by Fudan University, Imperial College London, NORDITA, Tokyo Institute of Technology, University of Portsmouth,  Universidade da Beira Interior and other institutions.

The aim of the conference “Quantum Gravity and Cosmology 2024″ is to provide a stimulating occasion for discussion on the current understanding of Quantum Gravity from very small to very large scales. To properly address this delicate topic, several points of view and approaches will be presented, and both theoretical and phenomenological aspects will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be given to the fundamental role of Quantum Gravity in Cosmology.

Top experts from different schools of thoughts in quantum gravity and cosmology problematic will be brought together so as to let everyone benefit from fruitful debates and exchange of ideas, and possibly develop novel insights. In addition to individual talks, discussion sessions will be held to help the conference become more prolific and to give rise to constructive interactions.

The conference will be held in School of Science and Technology, ShanghaiTech University, Shanghai, China, on July 1-5, 2024 (in person).

Talks are by invitation only
