The aim of the conference “Quantum Gravity, Cosmology and Black Holes 2022″ is to provide a stimulating occasion of discussion on the current understanding of Quantum Gravity from very small to very large scales. To properly address this delicate topic, several point of views and approaches will be presented, and both theoretical and phenomenological aspects will be discussed. Particular emphasis will be given to the fundamental role of Quantum Gravity in Black-Hole physics and Cosmology.
Different schools of thought will be brought together so as to let everyone benefit from fruitful debates and possibly develop novel insights. In addition to individual talks, discussion sessions will be held to help the conference become more prolific and to give rise to constructive interactions.
The conference will be held in Covilhã, Portugal on March 14-18, 2022. It is organized by the Center for Mathematics and Applications and the Physics Department of the University Beira Interior (UBI).
