The goal of the second edition of the program "Nonperturbative and Numerical Approaches to Quantum Gravity, String Theory and Holography" is to bring together theorists working in the areas of lattice field theory, string theory, and quantum gravity to discuss the state of the art nonperturbative methods and numerical approaches to tackle current and relevant problems in string theory and holography.The program via its strong pedagogical component aims also to build and grow a community of theorists in India who would contribute to problems in nonperturbative field theories interconnecting string theory, supersymmetric/superconformal field theories, quantum black holes, gravity, and holography.The content of this program can be broadly divided into five topics:* Lattice Supersymmetric Field Theories: Recent developments in realizing 4d N = 4 supersymmetry on a lattice (including ideas on regulating flat directions, static quark potential, anomalous dimension of Konishi operator and tes...
