                  a recent investigation about higher structures in the
                  theory of General Relativity. The talk essentially
                  features higher categorical constructions and their
                  consequences in various Einstein's gravity theories.
                  In this talk, for the sake of completeness, we shall
                  begin with a summary of key ideas from moduli theory
                  and derived algebraic geometry. We, indeed, overview
                  the basics of derived algebraic geometry and its
                  essential role in encoding the formal geometric
                  aspects of moduli problems in physics.  With this
                  spirit, we will then investigate higher spaces and
                  structures in various scenarios and present some of
                  our works in this research direction.<i><br>
