Does anyone know about a list of course on Quantum GRavity for the current year?

In summary, the individual is looking for a website with a comprehensive list of winter/summer schools, workshops, and other events related to quantum gravity for the current year. They have provided a link to a forum post with some relevant links, including a list of video lectures and upcoming events at various locations around the world. They also offer to keep an eye out for any events in the individual's area.

Hi there!

Just asking for a website with a detailed list of winter/summer schools, workshops and so on for the full present year, related with quantum gravity.

Thank you very much in advance.

This updated list of links has some items of that sort:
https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?p=2595126#post2595126

On that page you will see links to 15 video lectures Intro to QG by Renate Loll
and the website for an undergrad course currently being taught at LSU
and the website for the two-week PASI summerschool on QG to be taught in July at Morelia (a pretty old colonial town in Mexico)

And you will see link to a regularly updated info site about QG and GR-related meetings that is maintained by the AEI (alb. einst. inst.) in Germany----this gives schools workshopes conferences happening all over the world including e.g. India and South America and Japan.

If you wish to, tell us where you are and say more about what you want. I'd be happy to keep a lookout for QG schools/events in your area. There just was a very good QG school in Poland, this month, but it is now over.

1. What is Quantum Gravity?

Quantum Gravity is a field of study that aims to unify the theories of quantum mechanics and general relativity, which are currently the two main theories used to describe the behavior of the universe at a small scale and a large scale, respectively.

2. Why is Quantum Gravity important?

Quantum Gravity is important because it can potentially provide a better understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe and help resolve some of the inconsistencies between quantum mechanics and general relativity. It may also have practical applications in fields such as cosmology and high-energy physics.

3. Are there any courses on Quantum Gravity available for the current year?

Yes, there are several courses available on Quantum Gravity for the current year. However, the availability of these courses may vary depending on the university or institution offering them. It is best to check with individual institutions for their course offerings.

4. What are some recommended courses on Quantum Gravity?

Some recommended courses on Quantum Gravity include "Introduction to Quantum Gravity" offered by the University of Cambridge, "Quantum Gravity and the Holographic Principle" offered by the University of Amsterdam, and "Quantum Gravity: From Theory to Phenomenology" offered by the University of California, Santa Cruz.

5. Can I take a course on Quantum Gravity online?

Yes, there are several online courses available on Quantum Gravity from reputable institutions such as Coursera and edX. These courses may have a fee associated with them, but they offer the convenience of being able to learn from anywhere with an internet connection.
