In the Einstein year 2005, the annual international meeting on non-perturbative/background independent quantum gravity takes place from 10-14 October 2005 at the Albert-Einstein-Institute in Potsdam, Germany. The aim of this conference is to summarise the status and open problems of the various approaches and to present new ideas and research directions.

The topics of this conference will include:

  • Background Independent Algebraic QFT
  • Causal Sets
  • Dynamical Triangulations
  • Loop Quantum Gravity
  • Non-perturbative Path Integrals
  • String Theory
