Title: Towards scattering amplitudes in Asymptotically Safe Quantum Gravity

Abstract: Asymptotic Safety is an approach to Quantum Gravity based entirely on Quantum Field Theory. In this talk, I will review the problems encountered in quantising gravity, and the solution proposed by Asymptotic Safety. I will then discuss recent progress in computing quantum-gravitational scattering amplitudes from first principles, which are important in deciding whether this approach gives a unitary and causal theory.
