Dear colleagues,

It is a pleasure to announce a conference that will take place this year at the CIRM.

On behalf of the organizers,

Hugo Parlier

Structures on Surfaces

CIRM, May 2 - 6, 2022
https://sos.loria.fr/2022-CIRM-Workshop/

============================================
(pre-)registration deadline: March 1st, 2022
============================================

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.

Invited Speakers
Peter Buser (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland)
Moira Chas (Stony Brook University, USA)
Yves Colin de Verdière (Institut Fourier, Université de Grenoble I, France)
Nicolas Curien (Université Paris-Saclay, France)
Jeff Erickson (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA)
Myfanwy Evans (University of Potsdam, Germany)
Stephan Tillmann (The University of Sydney, Australia)
Corinna Ulcigrai (University of Zurich, Switzerland)

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.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1800 mathematicians worldwide.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask].

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. Announcements of individual talks and department seminars will also be rejected; https://mathseminars.org is a good option to announce for such talks. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask]. The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference announcement will also begin with that statement. In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement.

You are strongly encouraged to provide essential information such as dates and location near the top of the body of your message, and not require someone to visit your conference link to find it.

Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct. Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask].

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
