The 13th Tux Winter Workshop on Quantum Gravity will take place on February 09–13, 2026 in the village of Tux in the Austrian Alps.
The idea for this series of workshops was conceived by Jerzy Lewandowski, who passed away in 2024. He shaped and nurtured these meetings for over a decade. His scientific rigour, humility and unique sense of humour are deeply missed.
Scope:
The workshops aim to bring together experts on loop quantum gravity and related topics. In general, the topics of the workshops include:
- All approaches to loop quantum gravity
- Other approaches to quantum gravity and their relation to LQG
- Quantum gravity phenomenology
- Quantum gravity topics of general interest
- General relativity and differential geometry topics of general interest
Invited speakers:
- Eugenio Bianchi (Pennsylvania State University)
- Kristina Giesel* (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg)
- Viktoria Kabel (ETH Zürich)
- Etera Livine (ENS Lyon)
- Guillermo Mena Marugán (Instituto de Estructura de la Materia, CSIC Madrid)
- Tomasz Pawłowski* (University of Wrocław)
- Saeed Rastgoo (University of Alberta)
- Carlo Rovelli* (Aix-Marseille University)
* To be confirmed
More speakers are to be announced.
Funding:
Funding for the workshop is provided by the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ, Poland).
