"Curves and Surfaces 2026" Conference in Saint-Malo.

Anthony Nouy, a professor at the University of Nantes – Centrale Nantes, discusses the 2026 edition of the international scientific conference: Curves and Surfaces.

“The Curves and Surfaces 2026 conference aimed to bring together the international scientific community working in fields that make use of
s of curves and surfaces. The event sought to foster scientific exchange, showcase recent advances, develop new research collaborations, and facilitate interactions among established researchers, early-career researchers, and doctoral students.”

The Palais du Grand Large offers a setting that is particularly well-suited for hosting an international scientific conference.
The quality of its conference spaces, its ability to host multiple concurrent sessions, its technical facilities, and its seaside location make it a particularly attractive venue. The immediate proximity of accommodations and Saint-Malo’s accessibility are major advantages.

Key figures for the event:

• 301 participants
• 5-day conference
• 40% of participants are from France
• 60% of participants are from abroad
• Candidates with both academic and industry backgrounds

The setting was highly appreciated. Participants were able to enjoy the coastline during breaks. The fact that hotels, restaurants, and the Palace were all within easy walking distance was greatly appreciated by participants staying in the city or near the Palace.

The Palais staff were helpful, professional, and responsive throughout the planning process and the event itself. Their support made the logistics easier to manage, and their ability to adapt allowed them to effectively meet the conference’s various needs. Communication was always smooth, and the staff helped ensure that the event ran smoothly.

"In particular, we benefited from the provision of conference rooms, audiovisual equipment, technical support, signage management, and the logistical support necessary to ensure the smooth running of the scientific sessions, breaks, and opportunities for participants to interact."
