DESCRIPTION:Recent developments in the field of integrability include the 
 discovery of higher-dimensional generalised Chern-Simons theories. These t
 heories encode a linear system known as a Lax pair which underpins the int
 egrability of the lower-dimensional theory. We will start with a generous 
 review of these developments before presenting some extensions of this for
 malism. The applications of these extensions include: integrable deformati
 ons (a class of less-symmetric string backgrounds which are nonetheless in
 tegrable)\, stationary axisymmetric general relativity\, and gauged WZW mo
 dels.
