*********************************************</p>
<p><b>Idea and Motivation</b></p>
<p>The conference of "Foundations of Gravitational Physics and The
Problem of Agency and Laws of Nature" will address various topics
in theoretical physics and foundations of physics, focusing on
gravitational physics and on agency and physical laws. Invited
physicists and philosophers have been chosen to represent
different approaches to such topics (semi-classical gravity,
holography, quantum gravity theories, foundations of physics) and
to discuss different kinds of issues (locality, the nature of
black hole entropy, approaches to the Information-Loss Paradox,
the emergence of classicality in approaches to QG, quantum
reference frames, epistemology and methodology of theory and of
observation, ontology, inter alia), in an attempt to foster a
dialogue among the different fields. Contributed talks from
theoretical physicists, observational astronomers and philosophers
will be chosen in part so as to complement the perspectives of the
invited speakers. Such a gathering will spur new, innovative
approaches to the above mentioned problems, as well as connecting
and invigorating work on existing approaches. It will also provide
young researchers with a comprehensive introduction to the state
of the art of the various central fields of research, and
established researchers with a comprehensive overview.</p>
