The school was held within the framework
of the new ESF research network Quantum Geometry and Quantum Gravity, coordinated
by John Barrett and Hermann Nicolai - see http://www.maths.nottingham.ac.uk/qg
for further information about the network. The aim of the school was to provide an up-to-date introduction to
the main research topics of the network, namely: loop quantum gravity,
spin foam models, dynamical triangulations, matrix models, and the
application of non-commutative geometry and quantum groups to quantum
gravity.

Participation & accomodation
The list of the participants (version: 10.04.2007 with e-mails).
School's participants were accomodated mainly at Rzemieslnik hotel in Zakopane.
Localisation
 | Zakopane is a tourist and ski resourt in the Tatra Mountains in Poland.
During the school it will be also possible to ski, snowboard (down hill,
2000m - 1000 m) or walk in the national park. For more information about
Zakopane see Wikipedia, www.ezakopane.pl, Zakopane-life.pl and Zakopane.pl.
