For the development of mathematics of particular importance was and is the identification and use of mathematical structure, the central focus of the Courant Research Center.

Today we live in a period during which very different areas of mathematics come closer together and exchange techniques and ideas. In this process, new problems occur, e.g. if the "flexible" world of topology and geometry is used in the "rigid" world of number theory. New mathematical structures seem also to be necessary to tackle the fundamental problems of mathematical physics.
The conference aims to bring together representatives of the different fields active at the Courant Research Centre, to learn from each other and investigate further possible connections.
