The object of this week is to bring together specialists in the domains of Riemannian geometry, low-dimensional topology and geometric group theory to take stock of current interactions and encourage new exchanges in this area of rapid progress.

Since the number of places at CIRM is restricted, we strongly encourage all those who plan to take part in the conference to pre-register as soon as possible. Pre-registration will close at the end of October, 2017. Note that we cannot ensure participation without pre-registration or beyond the number of available places.​

The organisers will be able to cover living expenses for a limited number of students and young researchers. Students and young researchers wishing to have their living expenses covered must apply for funding when pre-registering.
