The intention of this symposium is to bring together experts working on mathematical aspects of M-theory and experts studying physical implications of M-theory. Key topics that will be covered include: - Higher Differential Geometry and Higher Lie Theory - Higher Gauge Theory - Higher Structures in M- and F-Theory - Double and Exceptional Field Theory and Duality Symmetric String and M-Th= eory - Higher (Pre)Quantisation - Higher Spin Theory There is a conference fee of =C2=A340. If you are interested in attending, please visit http://www.maths.dur.ac.uk/lms/109/ or contact the organisers at ma.mt18@durham.ac.uk. With best wishes, Branislav Jurco (Charles University) Christian Saemann (Heriot-Watt University) Urs Schreiber (Czech Academy of the Sciences) Martin Wolf (University of Surrey) [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
