The goal of this physics school was to offer master and Ph.D. students from the field of experimental and theoretical physics as well as mathematics and philosophy, a coherent introduction to the subject of quantum gravity phenomenology from both theoretical and experimental perspectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The participants received a training in the language of theoretical phenomenology of quantum gravity and how to predict signatures that can be observed. They learned how observatories collect data and how this data can be used to consistently test theoretical predictions. This education equips the participants with the skills to bridge the gap between theory and experiment in quantum gravity phenomenology research in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These topics were: modified particle propagation through the cosmos and modified relativistic interactions in the cosmos covered in four lectures. These four in-depth main lectures of the school were accompanied by a general overview and an outlook on future perspectives in quantum gravity phenomenology. The school began with an introductory talk on the history and future of quantum gravity phenomenology in general, and concluded with a final outlook lecture on the search for quantum gravity in laboratory experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an outreasch event, an evening talk was presented by Jackson Levi Said on the topic of the challenges in cosmology, placing research on quantum gravity phenomenology within the context of cosmolgoical tensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lectures &amp; Topics <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kick-Off Lecture:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Christian Pfeifer (University of Bremen) &#8211; Quantum gravity phenomenology: The past, the now and the future<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Main Lectures:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Giacomo Rosati (University of Wroc\u0142aw) &#8211; Theory and observables within deformed relativity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jelena Stri\u0161kovi\u0107 (Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek) &#8211; The search for time delays in GRB and AGN observations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rafael Alves Batista (Sorbonne Universit\u00e9, Paris) &#8211; Quantum gravity effects on astroparticle propagation: interaction threshold effects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Caterina Trimarelli (University of Geneva) &#8211; Data analysis for anomalous threshold reactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Evening Lecture:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jackson Levi Said (University of Malta) &#8211; Reaching the boundaries of general relativity: Tensions in Cosmology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Closing Lecture:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Flaminia Giacomini (ETH Z\u00fcrich) &#8211; Gravitating quantum systems: a low-energy perspective on quantum effects in gravity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Scientific organizers:<br><strong>Dr. Christian Pfeifer (ZARM Bremen), Prof. Dr. Giulia Gubitosi (U Napoli), Prof. Dr. Tomislav Terzi\u0107 (U Rijeka),\u00a0Prof. Dr. Jose Manuel Carmona (U Zaragoza)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/bad_honnef-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1168\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad Honnef Physics School \/official webpage\/ From February 16 &#8211; 21, 2025, in Physikzentrum Bad Honnef, Germany, the BridgeQG COST Action supported by the Wilhelm und Else Heraeus-Stiftung foundation, organized [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1167"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1170,"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1167\/revisions\/1170"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.infn.it\/BridgeQG\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
