Scientific paper

For smooth finite dimensional manifolds, we characterise gerbes with
connection as functors on a certain surface cobordism category. This allows us
to relate gerbes with connection to Turaev's 1+1-dimensional homotopy quantum
field theories, and we show that flat gerbes are related to a specific class of
rank one homotopy quantum field theories.
