The primary objective of the school is to provide students in the area of Quantum Gravity with an up-to-date introduction to the fundamentals of canonical and covariant Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG), quantum black holes, and cosmology, with an emphasis on the numerous novel results achieved within the field over the past years. Students at the end of the school are expected to be able to follow the research talks and actively participate in the Loops'24 conference in the second week.ย
