Registration: FREE
EXTENDED until 2nd of August

Optional Poster session

Contact: coqus@univie.ac.at

The summer school is aimed at young graduate students who want to get familiar with the current status and challenges in exploring the fascinating interface between quantum physics and gravity.

The school will provide introductory lectures into the concepts of both general relativity and quantum theory, as well as into the theoretical framework of quantum field theories in and of curved space-time.

The school will also provide an introduction to (classical and quantum) tests of gravity and their relevance for fundamental physics.
