Thematic six-weeks program at Institut Henri Poincaré, Paris.
January 09th - February 17th, 2023.
The scope of the program is to bring together researchers who are working on quantum gravity from various perspectives and approaches, with an emphasis on the random geometry point of view and on more recent holographic developments. The main goal is to intensify the fruitful interactions between the researchers in these and related communities in order to make significant progress on the outstanding problems in quantum gravity.
Program :
The thematic six-weeks program will include two workshops (weeks 2 and 5), introductory lectures (weeks 1 and 4), two general public lectures, and more (informal gatherings and seminars).
Videos of most of the lectures and workshop seminars are available on carmin.tv.
