Symplectic geometry originated as a mathematical language for Hamiltonian Mechanics, but during the last 3 decades it witnessed both, spectacuar development of the mathematical theory and discovery of new connections and applications to Physics. Meanwhile, non-commutative geometry naturally entered into this picture.

The workshop aims to highlight some of these connections and further boost interactions between Mathematicians and Physicists working in related areas. It will consists of 4 minicourses given by Denis Auroux, Robert Dijkgraaf (to be confirmed), Yan Soibelman and Katrin Wehrheim, as well as lectures given by Physicists and Mathematicians, such as Manabu Akaho, Michel Van den Bergh, Tohru Eguchi, Bertrand Eynard, Hiroshige Kajiura,Anton Kapustin, Yong-Geun Oh, Hiroshi Ooguri, Yongbin Ruan, Dennis Sullivan, Dmitry Tamarkin and Bruno Vallet.
