Description	Generating functions of various enumerative invariants in algebraic geometry often satisfy Virasoro constraints. It was recently discovered by Kontsevich and Soibelman that the recursive relations of the Eynard-Orantin topological recursion can be recast as a set of Virasoro constraints, which they called Airy structures. I will talk about our generalization of their notion to "higher Airy structures", and realize the Bouchard-Eynard topological recursion as a set of W-algebra constraints. I will also mention some other higher Airy structures that we can produce in other geometric contexts.
