Abstract
This lecture notes are an expanded and revised version of the course Regularity of higher codimension area minimizing integral currents that I taught at the ERC-School on Geometric Measure Theory and Real Analysis, held in Pisa, September 30th - October 30th 2013.
The lectures aim to explain partially without proofs the main steps of a new proof of the partial regularity of area minimizing integer rectifiable currents in higher codimension, due originally to F. Almgren, which is contained in a series of papers in collaboration with C. De Lellis (University of Zürich).
