Summer School CRC 1624: Higher structures, moduli spaces and integrability 

Algebra and Geometry meets Quantum Fields and Strings

The goal of this summer school is to bring together students and leading researchers in some of the most active directions of mathematics and theoretical physics related to algebra and geometry, and having relations to quantum field theory and string theory. The intended range of topics of our summer school includes TQFT, higher and derived structures, CFT, supersymmetry, the geometry of moduli spaces, generalized geometry, and integrable models. This summer school will be the main scientific event organized by our CRC 1624 Higher structures, moduli spaces and integrabilityin its first funding phase.

Registration will open soon.
