The conference focuses on a critical discussion of the status and prospects of current approaches in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, in particular concerning gravity. In contrast to typical conferences, instead of reporting on the most recent technical results, participants are invited to discuss:
In tradition of the meetings in Blaubeuren (2003 and 2005), Leipzig (2007) and Regensburg (2010 and 2014), the conference brings together physicists, mathematicians and philosophers working on foundations of mathematical physics.
The conference is dedicated to Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Eberhard Zeidler, who sadly passed away on 18 November 2016. He was the founding director of the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences. With his outstanding knowledge and warm-hearted personality, he helped shape this conference series. The organisers are thankful for all the inspiration he provided and aim at keeping alive his scientific visions.
The event addresses a professional audience. Admission is free of charge. Registration is mandatory. Please send an e-mail to avanden@mis.mpg.de.
