This workshop will explore ongoing progress in understanding the landscape of quantum gravity theories, as well as important open questions in this field and strategies for addressing them in the future.
The workshop is divided into five sessions with different themes:
Monday AM: Top-down constructions via string theory
Monday PM: Cosmology and scale separation in the landscape
Tuesday AM: Generalized global symmetries and connections to particle physics
Tuesday PM: Connections to holography, black holes, and amplitudes
Wednesday AM: "Bottom-up" attempts to bound the landscape via consistency conditions, conjectured principles, etc.
