The conference will be part of a
joint French-Norwegian conference series
on curves and surfaces. In Norway previous meetings were held in Oslo 1988,
Biri 1991, Ulvik 1994, Lillehammer 1997, Oslo 2000, Tromsø 2004,
Tønsberg 2008, and Oslo 2012.
In France the last meeting was in Paris 2014.
This series of meetings has been highly successful in bringing
together researchers and practioners in this field of research,
and these events appear to be still gaining popularity.
The highest attendence of the Norwegian conferences was at the last one
in Oslo 2012, with 170 participants, and many
in this scientific community have indicated the importance
of having a further large event of this kind.
Certainly these events have established Norway as having a prominent
role in this scientific discipline.
