The meeting will cover recent developments of mathematical aspects in string and M-theory. Specific topics that will be covered (amongst others) are applications of generalised geometry, stabilisation in Calabi-Yau compactifications, quantum geometry and topological strings. Apart from talks the meeting will also have ample time to allow discussions and interactions between participants.
