Aspiring researchers in theoretical physics can now register for “New Horizons in Quantum Gravity,” a doctoral school scheduled for April 11-16, 2027, at the Ecole de Physique des Houches near Mont Blanc. The school will cover advanced topics in general relativity and quantum gravity, exploring areas like celestial holography and quantum reference frames.
Glenn Barnich, Steve Giddings, and Monica Pate are confirmed lecturers, offering instruction from leaders actively shaping the field; the program is organized by Luca Ciambelli, Flaminia Giacomini, Etera Livine, and Natalie Paquette. This extended planning horizon suggests a focused effort to attract and prepare the next generation of gravity researchers.
