Defining a theory of quantum gravity remains one of the most challenging problems at the cutting edge of research in mathematical and theoretical physics. Unlocking this problem implies constructing a quantum field theoretic description of gravity which fully elucidates how a quantum field theory encodes gravitational spacetime background solutions. Much of the progress in shaping the language and the framework of this problem owes its genesis to a specific subset of problems in quantum gravity, namely those dealing with understanding the organisation of information in black holes.

Institute of Physics (IOP)

From 8-11 April 2024, the Institute of Physics will bring together the UK Nuclear Physics, High Energy Particle Physics and Astroparticle Physics communities for a joint annual conference. The meeting will feature invited talks from major national and international speakers, as well as extensive opportunities for contributed talks. A poster session will take place to showcase work and discoveries, and updates and discussions with senior members of the Science and Technology Facilities Council will be provided at a town meeting. The conference is particularly welcoming to PhD students and all are offered the opportunity to present their research.

The well-established NSTAR workshop brings together expertise from both experiments and theory to discuss the current progress and future prospects on the physics of the Baryon spectrum and the structure of excited nucleons. Studying the nucleon excitation spectrum provides a toolset to investigate the strong interaction in the non-perturbative regime and allows us to understand how the various baryons emerge from quantum chromodynamics (QCD).

The International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory is an annual conference that attracts scientists from around the world. Originally started as a place for physicists to discuss recent developments in lattice gauge theory, the conference is now the largest of its type and has grown to cover strongly interacting phenomena in many contexts such as particle physics phenomenology and nuclear theory, as well as algorithms, code development and machine architectures.
