This volume is a panorama of the diverse activities during the Chaire Morlet events organized at the CIRM in Marseille during the first semester of 2016. Dipendra Prasad from Tata Institute in Mumbai was the distinguished Chaire Morlet Professor and Volker Heiermann from Aix Marseille University was the local host. The semester started in January 2016 with the workshop “Geometric Methods and Langlands Functoriality in Positive Characteristic”, which aimed at giving an exposition on the important recent work of Vincent Lafforgue who also gave some lectures at the workshop. An essential prerequisite for Lafforgue’s work is the geometric Satake correspondence. This was provided by excellent lectures by Pierre Baumann, Dragos Fratila and Simon Riche. We are grateful to Pierre Baumann and Simon Riche for their article “Notes on the geometric Satake correspondence”, which is a considerably expanded account of these lectures. In May we had the doctoral school “Introduction to Relative Aspects in Representation Theory, Langlands Functoriality and Automorphic Forms” with lectures by Ioan Badulescu, Fiona Murnaghan, Omer Offen and Dipendra Prasad. This school was attended by many postdoctoral and PhD students, many of whom got exposed to the subject for the first time. Scripts based on these lectures of Badulescu, Murnaghan and Offen are included in this book. There was a “Research in Pairs” activity with Paul Broussous and François Courtès (who—we are very sorry to mention—passed away in fall 2016) from the University of Poitiers on their proof of the distinction of the Steinberg representation. This work used the theory of the Bruhat-Tits building, especially a theorem of Borel–Serre realizing the Steinberg representation in the top dimensional compactly supported cohomology of the Bruhat-Tits building. The reader will find an important paper by Broussous on this topic following the mini-courses at the doctoral school. At the end of May, we had the main conference “Relative Trace Formula, Periods, L-Functions and Harmonic Analysis” organized together with Pierre-Henri Chaudouard and Yiannis Sakellaridis. It brought together more than 70 distinguished researchers on the topic with many interesting talks and valuable exchanges. From the conference, the reader will find a paper of James Arthur and Wen-Wei Li in this book.(The paper of James Arthur appeared first in Simons v
