The focus of this week-end conference are modern methods in 3-manifold and knot theory, and their  ramifications into other fields of mathematics. Invited participants are from both the classical and quantum side of low-dim topology, but also from adjacent areas such as  gauge theory and quantum computing. The aim of the conference is give participants an opportunity to present the current state of research but also to educate themselves along the borderlines of the different directions of research.

 Participation of graduate students and recent PhD's is particularly encouraged.
