Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of key phenomenological proposals and assesses their potential to yield experimental insights into quantum gravity.

Findings

Increased optimism about experimental tests of quantum gravity.

Abstract

Over the last few years part of the quantum-gravity community has adopted a more optimistic attitude toward the possibility of finding experimental contexts providing insight on non-classical properties of spacetime. I review those quantum-gravity phenomenology proposals which were instrumental in bringing about this change of attitude, and I discuss the prospects for the short-term future of quantum-gravity phenomenology.
