The rich web of interactions between string theory and geometry has since the very beginning led to a multitude of results and deep insights on both sides. In particular, the framework of generalized geometry and the language of Courant algebroids have allowed a lot of progress in understanding generalized Ricci flow or in the study of supergravity theories across various dimensions. This workshop brings together researchers working on the relevant topics both from the mathematical and physical side, with the aim of sharing the most recent developments and developing new and impactful collaborations.
