We are pleased to announce a Quantum Gravity summer school to be held at the Institute for Mathematics of the National Autonomous University Of Mexico (UNAM) in Morelia, Mexico Morelia June 23-July 3, 2010. Lectures at the school will describe current research in several approaches to quantum gravity, including string theory, loop gravity, causal sets, and causal dynamical triangulations. Lectures will be appropriate for advanced Ph.D students are beginning postdocs. The goal of the school is to bring together researchers from these different approaches from throughout the americas.
The location and timing of our school have been chosen to synergize with the 19th International Conference on General Relativity and Gravitation (GR19), to be held July 5-9, 2010 in Mexico City. We have funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation to support travel and local expenses for participants from throughout the americas. The organizers expect to be able to cover all local expenses of the participants as well as to provide significant travel support. Nevertheless, we urge the student's home institutions to support the students to the maximum possible extent as this will increase the number of students who can participate in our school.
The current web page is a first announcement only! More information, registration forms, and financial aid will be posted later this fall.
