Title: Classical and quantum integrable systems in enumerative geometry

Abstract: For more than a quarter of a century, thanks to the ideas and questions originating in modern high-energy physics, there has been a very fruitful interplay between enumerative geometry and integrable system, both classical and quantum. While it is impossible to summarize even the most important aspects of this interplay in one talk, I will try to highlight a few logical points with the goal to explain the place and the role of certain more recent developments.
