DESCRIPTION:Paul Biran\, ETH Zürich\nLagrangian cobordism was introduced 
 in the 1970's by\nArnold and further studied by Eliashberg\, Audin\, Cheka
 nov and\nothers. On the one hand it can be viewed as a generalization of\n
 exact isotopies of Lagrangian submanifolds\, but it also brings\ntogether 
 symplectic topology with cobordism theory. Recently\ndevelopment show that
  Lagrangian cobordism give new geometric\ninsight on the (derived) Fukaya 
 category - a highly non-trivial\nconstruction closely related to mirror sy
 mmetry.\nIn the first part of the talk we will discuss categorical aspects
 \nof Lagrangian cobordism\, explain its relation to Floer theory and\npres
 ent some applications. In the second part we will show how to\nconstruct m
 eaningful functors from the cobordism category to the\nderived Fukaya cate
 gory and go into some details of the\nconstruction.\nThe talk is based on 
 joint work with Octav Cornea.
