· Ulf Leonhardt (University of St. Andrews, UK):
"Gravity analogues in quantum systems"
· Carlo Rovelli (Centre de Physique Theorique de Luminy, Marseille, France)
"An introduction to quantum gravity for quantum physicists"
The school will take place September 3 – 7, 2012, at the Faculty of Physics, University of Vienna. The registration will open on Monday, March 26, 2012. The registration deadline is set for Tuesday, June 26, 2012. --> Link to registration.
