Renormalization in Background Independent Theories: Foundations and Techniques

Renormalization concepts have been recently shown to be essential for the formulation and understanding of background independent theories such as quantum gravity, as well as for extracting physical predictions from such theories. The workshop will discuss and review recent advances on this topic, both on the conceptual and technical side. It aims to intensify and start collaborations among the different groups working on renormalization, in particular in loop quantum gravity, spin foams and group field theory.
