About us
Who We Are
A diverse group of young researchers from all over, working on various branches of quantum gravity. United by our shared interest in quantum gravity, and the desire to learn about quantum gravity in the broadest sense.
Our seminar series will touch on topics such as string theory, holography, emergent gravity, loop quantum gravity, phenomenological research, asymptotic safety, black holes and gravitational waves, early universe cosmology, experiments of quantized gravity, and related topics such as classical gravity, and quantum field theory on curved spacetime.
YRQG is supported by DFG Research Training Group (RTG) 2522
