The aim of this meeting is to stimulate interaction between people, who are working in higher structures interpreted in the broad sense (to mean higher stacks, L-infinity- and A-infinity-algebras, Batalin-Vilkovisky algebras, higher category theory, operad theory and related areas). Such flavours of higher structures have appeared in
- differential geometry (non-abelian and higher gerbes),
- rational homotopy theory,
- algebraic topology (string structures, extended topological quantum field theories),
- persistent homology,
and have found a number of applications in mathematical physics, such as
- higher gauge theory,
- topological quantum field theory, possibly with defects,
- homological methods in quantum field theory,
- strings and branes,
- topological phases of matter,
among others.
