The aim of this conference is to get together algebraic geometers and complex geometers, around recent topics of interest. Participants are mostly researchers from european universities but everybody is welcome to participate (please note that the number of participants is limited).

It is organised by the GDR 3064 Geometrie Algebrique et Geometrie Complexe (Research Group of the CNRS, French Scienti c Reseach Comity).

Mornings are devoted to 5 mini-courses, given by experts of important new developpments.

Topics covered are :

• Dynamical degree of birational transformations of surfaces, given by Jérémy Blanc (Universität Basel, Suisse).
• Gromov-Witten invariants, Mirror symmetry and degenerations of Calabi-Yau's, given by Mark Gross (University of Cambridge, Angleterre).
• Berkovich spaces, degenerations of algebraic varieties, skeleton, given by Johannes Nicaise (University of Leuven, Belgique).
• Stable rationality, given by Alena Pirutka (Ecole Polytechnique).

The afternoons are devoted to more specialized 50 minutes talks. They will be chosen by the scientific committee 3 months before the conference. A short talks (10 minutes) session will be also organized during the conference to enable participants to talk about their works or some open questions.
