> Time is a concept of central concern to both physicists and philosophers. It is thus, unsurprisingly, a topic of particular interest to the community of `foundations of physics’ researchers, working in the borderlands between the two disciplines. Two prominent questions relating to time in the foundations of modern physics are: i) the status of the `causal arrow of time’ in quantum theory; and ii) the supposed `disappearance of time’ in theories of quantum gravity. This workshop will bring together researches working at the cutting edge of each of these two `problems of time’, with a view towards the cross-pollination of ideas and the forging of interdisciplinary links.
