It will be about open problems, questions (also arising from the lectures of the school) and possible research lines in the theory of Higgs moduli spaces, character varieties,  cluster algebras, COHAs, stability conditions, etc.  This will also be an activity of the ERC Starting Grant Project 307119  “Stability and wall-crossing in algebraic and differential geometry.
