The conference will take place in hotel Pliska located in the Golden Sands resort.

The purpose of the conference is to bring together physicists and mathematicians working in related areas of differential geometry, geometric analysis and theoretical physics. The main focus will be on special geometric structures and their applications in geometry, theoretical physics and string theory. The conference aims at presenting an account of the latest achievements in the subject and will be based on invited talks, poster sessions and informal discussions. The duration of the talks will be 55 min.
POSTER SESSION: Any participant who would like to present a poster is invited to submit a title and abstract by September 10.

FUNDING: Supported by Bulgarian NSF grants "Idei", DID 02-39/21.12.2009, Contract 200/2011 with the University of Sofia `St.Kl.Ohridski' and US NSF DMS-1127129. Travel expenses will be covered as additional funding becomes available. Top priority will be the funding of young mathematicians, under-represented groups, and those without external support.
