Zusammenfassung: The recent progress in topology has shed light on many deep connections between algebraic topology and the theory of braids. A successful program on Braids was organized in May-July, 2007. This present program is going to explore further the connections between algebraic topology and braids, and to establish further research collaborations in algebraic topology in Asia. The present program will consist of a conference on algebraic topology, and a workshop on special topics. 1. The Second East Asia Conference on Algebraic Topology, December 8-12, 2008. 2. Workshop on Homotopy, Braids and Mapping Class Groups, December 13-22, 2008.
