The goal of the Asymptotic Safety program consists in finding a nonperturbatively renormalizable quantum field theory of gravity and analyzing its properties. The ideas, the motivation and the concepts of Asymptotic Safety will be explained in the first part of this talk. Then, we focus on Quantum Einstein Gravity in case spacetime has boundaries and consider a specific example of a renormalization group calculation including scale dependent boundary terms. In the third part I show the impact of these results on black hole thermodynamics.
