This workshop program brought together experts and young researchers from all over the world with the aim of fostering exchange on a number of topics that lie at the interface between String Theory, considered to be a promising candidate for a unified theory of fundamental interactions, and the theory of higher-spin fields. Key problems addressed included issues related to the roots of String Theory, the AdS/CFT correspondence, the underlying higher spin geometry and symmetries, the consistency
