Since then, impressive new results in the calculation of quantum scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity have been obtained thanks to new twistor-string inspired methods. This progress has also been made possible because of the fruitful exchange of ideas between three previously disconnected communities of researchers: string theorists, phenomenologists and mathematicians with interests in Penrose's twistor theory. The subject continues to expand rapidly, with new approaches and connections appearing at a dramatic pace including holography, Wilson loops, integrability, Grassmannians and momentum twistors.

The purpose of the mini-workshop will be to provide the opportunity for researchers working in this wide-ranging and rapidly evolving area to meet. The scientific goals of the workshop will be to review recent progress, stimulate interaction and collaboration among participants, and inspire further outstanding developments in the field.
