This conference takes place within the framework of the 'Research Networking Programme of the European Science Foundation’ entitled “Quantum Geometry and Quantum Gravity”. Its aim is to review present approaches towards unifying quantum theory with gravity theories into a consistent theoretical framework for describing the micro- and the macro-cosmos. We hope that the lectures at the workshop will clarify connections between different approaches, tie them together (to the extent possible) and stimulate new developments.
