Description
 
The 2025 edition of the Italian Society for General Relativity and Gravitational Physics (SIGRAV) International School is dedicated to a comprehensive exploration of quantum effects in curved spacetimes and the thermodynamics of horizons. This school aims to provide participants with a deep understanding of the interplay between quantum field theory and gravitational phenomena, focusing on cutting-edge topics such as vacuum effects, horizon dynamics, and the information loss problem.Through lectures by leading experts, attendees will gain valuable insights into both foundational and advanced concepts, enhancing their knowledge of modern approaches to quantum gravity and their applications to cosmology, black holes, and exotic spacetime geometries.The school is designed to foster interactive discussions and collaborations, creating an environment where participants can actively engage with leading experts. The goal of SIGRAV is to equip attendees with a deep understanding of the latest advancements in gravitational research, providing them with a solid foundation to further their own studies and contributions to the field of gravity.The School organizes the following lectures:

 

Vacuum effects in Cosmological spacetimes
Robert Brandenberger (McGill University, Montreal, Canada)

Information Loss problem 
Erik Curiel (Universität Bonn/Distinguished Scholar, Black Hole Initiative, Harvard)

Singularities/Energy conditions/Exotic spacetimes
Eleni-Alexandra Kontou (King’s College London, UK)

Horizon Thermodynamics
David Kubiznak (Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic)

Detectors and moving boundaries 
Jorma Louko
(Nottingham University, Nottingham, UK)

Algebraic Approach to QFT in CS
Valter Moretti
 (Università di Trento, Trento, Italy)

Dynamical horizons
Matt Visser (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand)

Renormalised Stress Energy Tensor
Elizabeth Winstanley
 (Sheffield University, Sheffield, UK)
