Overview:

In the past 20 years, there has been significant progress in our understanding of quantum gravity based on AdS/CFT. Recently, study of quantum gravity beyond AdS/CFT attracts a lot of attention, where there is no longer an asymptotically AdS boundary on which we can perform measurements with infinite accuracy. Thus it is important to understand how observers measure gravitational spacetimes and what is the microscopic theory. This workshop aims to gather researchers in the this subject to exchange cutting edge ideas, aiming to establish new research directions and collaborations.
