The Sixth Moscow Quantum Gravity Seminar was a continuation of the series of seminars which has played an important role in the consolidation of the international quantum gravity community and which has greatly affected the development of the field. As well as papers presented at the conference, this proceedings volume includes the papers of invited speakers who were unable to attend the seminar itself.
