About
​The purpose of this meeting, held at the Radboud University Nijmegen, is to gather researchers who have contributed to our understanding of quantum gravity by using nonperturbative path integral methods, in one way or the other related to Causal Dynamical Triangulations (CDT). This covers a considerable range of results, from exact treatments in 1+1 dimensions (purely geometric, multicritical and matter-coupled models, relation with random trees, zero-dimensional string field etc.) to investigations in 3+1 dimensions using numerical and RG methods (phase structure and transitions, construction of effective theories, spectral dimension, emergence of macroscopic geometry etc.), as well as a number of interesting results in 2+1 dimensions. - The conference is open to all interested researchers. You need to register via our registration page in order to participate.

Venue
​The conference will be held in the beautiful, modern Huygens Building of the Faculty of Science, in lecture theatres 303, 304 and 307 on the ground floor. From the city centre, the Huygens Building (street address Heyendaalseweg 135) can be reached by using the shuttle service (bus no. 10 to "CS via Heyendaal"), which departs outside the main train station every few minutes. You will need to get off at the second stop (called "Huygensgebouw" or "Universiteit/Oostzijde"), just after the bus has passed the big green building on your left, and the journey takes about 6 mins. Directions on how to reach Nijmegen and further information about how to use public transport can be found at the website of the faculty, where you can also find a map of the campus. It also describes the train connection between Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam and Nijmegen, which takes about an hour and a half.
Accommodation
For the convenience of registered participants, block reservations have been made at Hotel Mercure and at B&B De Prince (with single rooms costing upward from 100 Eur and 50 Eur p.p.p.n. respectively). Please contact these hotels directly to make your own booking, quoting the name of the conference and of secretary Gemma Koppers of the high-energy theory group of the Radboud University. Apart from those two places, there is more than a dozen other hotels/B&Bs in Nijmegen to choose from, many of which are listed here.
