As long as the back reaction of quantum fields on the spacetime metric can be ignored, quantum field theory on a curved background is an excellent approximation to a theory combining quantum effects with gravitational interactions. Famous predictions have been obtained in this framework, in particular Hawking's prediction of thermal radiation of black holes [16] and Unruh's prediction of a thermal environment experienced by an accelerated observer [29]. In the topical session of GR17 on this theory three main subjects were discussed, namely the construction of interacting fields by renormalized perturbation theory, the construction of analogous models for gravitational interactions and the rôle of fluctuations of the energy momentum tensor.
