General information

The conference will be held in the Cité des Sciences located in the north-east of Paris. The Cité des sciences is located with the park La Villette which is home to exhibitions, and shows. We will latter publish here more information about the activities.

The conference (and welcome cocktail) takes place in a museum, a security check is done at the entrance of the museum; this means:
  • Please avoid as much as possible bringing luggages to the conference since this will make the security check much longer for you and the other participants
  • You should arrive in advance - during the day, queues are mixed with visitors
  • No not bring anything that can be considered as a weapon (e.g. knife)

If you cannot leave your luggage at your hotel, you can use lockers in trani station and other locations. In particular, you can use DropYourBag or Eelway that can pick up your luggage at your hotel and transports it to the airport - either Orly or Charles de Gaulle.
