We are delighted to host a meeting on different approaches to Quantum Gravity at the Raman Research Institute, on the occasion of its 75th year celebration.  Apart from invited talks, the meeting will have dedicated discussion sessions on some of the common themes in quantum gravity across all approaches.

The meeting will take place amidst the calm and lush greenery of the Raman Research Institute.

Because of limited space, attendance for the meeting will be by invitation only.  We will however live stream the event on the institute's YouTube channel
