This initiative aimed at bringing together mathematicians and theoretical physicists with interdisciplinary expertise, ranging from Differential and Algebraic Geometry, Topology and Number Theory, to Feynman Calculus and Scattering Amplitudes, with the goal of discussing the recently discovered role of Intersection Theory for twisted de-Rham cohomologies in the evaluation of Feynman integrals. The goal of the meeting is to identify and propose new, interdisciplinary, common research directions.
