Proceedings Available

Mainly due to the efforts and the endurance of Bernhelm Booß-Bavnbek the conference proceedings eventually have been finished. They will appear as a Springer volume. The preview can be found at Bernhelm's website.

We are currently organizing the Summer School New Paths Towards Quantum Gravity to be held from May 12 to May 16, 2008 in the marvelous and fascinating Holbaek Bay close to Copenhagen, Denmark. The school is aimed at providing courses for advanced graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from all over the world who are interested in mathematical and physical aspects of quantum gravity and their impact on current research in fundamental science. There will be five series of lectures by highly distinguished scientists on various aspects of modern quantum field theory and quantum gravity.

Financial support will be granted based on requests made during application. Important Notice: As of November 30, 2007, the registration is closed.

After the Summer School there will be an advanced Workshop Quantum Gravity: An Assessment aimed at researchers in the area. It will take place May 17-18, 2008, in the same location. For more information see the above links.
