I will report on recent joint work with Johannes Nordström where we define an invariant of diffeomorphisms and homotopies of a G2 structure on a closed 7 manifold. The invariant takes values in Z/48 and is defined via the Euler characteristic and signature of a Spin(7) coboundary of the G2 structure. I will discuss examples, calculations for the invariant to date and its relationship to the mapping class groups of spin 7-manifolds.
