Questions on Quantum Gravity

I will sketch motivations, ambitions and challenges of quantum gravity, how we have got to where we are, and discuss promising current and future direction, focusing on nonperturbative quantum field-theoretic approaches. No expert knowledge on quantum gravity will be required. The talk will be loosely based on "30 Questions on Quantum Gravity" (arXiv:2206.06762, hep-th), a write-up of lectures presented at the Training School on “Quantum Gravity Phenomenology in the Multi-Messenger Approach”.
