This meeting will focus on various aspect of string theory, gauge-gravity duality, black holes, quantum field theory, supersymmetry and the diverse connections with geometry. The meeting is funded by four ERC funded grants: "Gravity, black holes and strongly coupled quantum matter”, "The gauge/gravity duality and geometry in string theory”, "Higgs bundles: supersymmetric gauge theories and geometry" and "Quantum black holes: a macroscopic window into the microstructure of gravity”.
