  In the asymptotic safety paradigm, a quantum field theory reaches a regime
with quantum scale invariance in the ultraviolet, which is described by an
interacting fixed point of the Renormalization Group. Compelling hints for the
viability of asymptotic safety in quantum gravity exist, mainly obtained from
applications of the functional Renormalization Group. The impact of
asymptotically safe quantum fluctuations of gravity at and beyond the Planck
scale could at the same time induce an ultraviolet completion for the Standard
Model of particle physics with high predictive power.
