It is a great pleasure to announce the Conference “Quantum Gravity 2023” taking place at Radboud University in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, from July 10 to July 14, 2023.
About Us
Our Mission
To promote the study of Quantum Gravity in all its aspects (mathematical, physical and conceptual), to nurture diverse research directions and to exchange information in the interest of its members and the profession.
Structure
The society has been set up with a founding committee* representing the diverse approaches to quantum gravity.
* The intention is to eventually replace this with a formal committee governed by by-laws (which are currently being formulated).

News
ISQG statement on the aggression against Ukraine
As ISQG, we express our deep concern, sadness and condemnation for the ongoing invasion of Ukraine decided by the Russian government, constituting a blatant breaking of international law, and for the terrible suffering of Ukrainian people. We are also concerned about the persecution of Russian citizens who voice their opposition to the invasion and those who also suffer from this decision.
Several of us, and of our members, are actively seeking, each in their own independent way, to help to the best of their possibilities.
As ISQG, we would like to point to funding opportunities that might be useful for Ukrainian (and Russian) researchers who are refugees from the war, from senior levels to students, and that are sometimes accompanied by additional support for their families. We will maintain below a list of such opportunities and we encourage all of you to spread such information as much as possible. The list can be found at this link: click here.
At ISQG we are strongly opposed to war and violence for the resolution of conflicts. We hold strongly that science is based on, and is about, open dialogue and cooperation, building bridges and trust, toward mutual understanding. We therefore extend our support more generally to scientists and scholars in conflict zones around the globe. The list of these more broadly applicable opportunities can be found here.
A warm welcome to the new members of ISQG!
