Quantum Spacetime, Gravitation and Cosmology
(QSGravCos)
Project description
Much cosmological experimental data has been collected over the last thirty years. In order to understand this collected data, a lot of work has gone into developing various theoretical models of effective Quantum Gravity (QG). In this network we focus on String theory, Noncommutative geometry and effective theories of modified gravity. The network consists of 10 institutions from 7 countries and 3 silent partners. Two main goals of the network are:
To bring together the diverse expertise of each node in an effort to construct realistic theoretical models of effective QG, inflation and cosmology, and
To engage in intensive discussions and first steps towards joint master and PhD programs.
The main achievements of the QSGravCos network will be: the expansion of existing and the creation of new collaborations, the introduction of students to this very popular and active field of research, and the promotion of the scientific and cultural heritage of each member country.
