It is a pleasure to announce a conference that will take place this year at the CIRM.
============================================
Registration fees
We expect to be able to cover local expenses (housing at CIRM, including meals) of most participants. Participants will be asked whether they actually need funding.
Covid situation
If possible, the workshop will take place on site, as the main goal is that researchers from various areas can communicate in a friendly atmosphere. Workshops are currently subject to measures mentioned on the welcome page of the CIRM
https://www.cirm-math.com
However, we will adapt to the evolution of the pandemic and we might have to propose either an hybrid or a purely virtual format. Registered participants will be informed.
In any case, please pre-register asap, and no later than March 1st.
Participation will be confirmed shortly after the pre-registration deadline.

Contributed talks
We are planning to accommodate a number of lightning talks, in particular by young researchers.
The central theme of this workshop is the study of geometric and combinatorial structures related to surfaces and their moduli. The topic is motivated in particular by the arising needs for efficient algorithms solving problems in non-Euclidean geometries,
e.g., in geometric modeling, neuromathematics, or physics.
The workshop aims to gather communities working in geometric topology and computational geometry. Beyond a common interest, techniques from both ends are relevant and the potential gain in perspective from sharing knowledge and recent results is truly thrilling.
To reach this aim, the workshop will follow an interdisciplinary approach, gathering researchers whose expertise cover a large range of mathematics, algorithms and software.
