Homotopical structures lie at the heart of important developments in algebra, geometry, topology, and mathematical physics. This research programme is devoted to categorical expressions of such structures, and in particular to the interplay between derived categories, Quillen model categories, and higher categories, with emphasis on applications. Leading experts in the fields of homotopy theory and higher category theory will be gathered together to explore the latest developments in these topics and stimulate further advances.
Key words: derived categories; triangulated categories; higher categories; quasi-categories; operads; differentiable and topological stacks; higher stacks; moduli problems; derived moduli; higher structures in model categories; simplicial localisation; brave new algebra; modular representation theory.
