*Idea and Motivation*

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.
