Format and Topics	This Workshop has been held every year in the last week of August (recently it has been held in Balatonfoldvar (Hungary), Bedlewo (Poland), Madrid (Spain), Gent (Belgium), etc.) and is an important opportunity of scientific exchange of ideas between people who are active in research in differential geometric methods related to theoretical mechanics and more generally to physics. The Workshop will be organized in 15 plenary talks of one hour, held by some participants selected by the Scientific Committee, on the following topics (5 talks per topic): Constraints and Control Theory. Applications of Quantum Theory. Recent Advances in Geometric Aspects of Mechanics. Short communications (half hour talks) of the participants, and in some (one or two) discussion sessions (in one or two afternoons) on some topics that will be decided by the Scientific Committee. Participants interested in giving a short talk are invited to contact Prof. Giuseppe Marmo, President of the Scientific Committee at the e-mail address Giuseppe.Marmo@na.infn.it .
