Location, maps, and last minute information
Last minute information

210 participants have registered. You can pick up your tags and welcoming packages as early as 9:00 on Wednesday, May 31. Since we will also serve coffee and pastries, we strongly encourage you to arrive early to facilitate organization. (The direct entrance door on the map below will be open.) In any case, registration is scheduled to close at 9:40 on Wednesday morning (but will open again in the afternoon and the days after).

There will be a wide wifi area (as well as two or three rather small computer rooms, some of them located in a different building). Participants are advised to bring their own wifi laptops, if possible.

Here is a map of the school,  where you can identify the conference and computer rooms, the places for the poster sessions and the buffets, etc. For French-speaking participants, here is a presentation of the math' departement at Ecole normale supérieure.

We offer two free buffets, one light welcoming reception on Wednesday, May 31 (at 19:30, right after the poster session) and a buffet lunch on Saturday, June 3 (at 12:00). Partners of participants not living in Paris or suburbs are welcomed to the light welcoming reception (but not to the buffet lunch, sorry). For other meals, please visit the page dedicated to restaurants.

We will have a luggage room on Saturday, June 3. We will open it during the different coffee-breaks. 

Paris is safe now :-) and strikes have taken an end. But just in case, you may read these hints.

Maps and location

The conference will take place in the main building of Ecole normale supérieure (which you should recognize by its pediment). This building is indexed by 6 on the following map, by a red circle on this one, and by a black circle on this final one. The address is 45 rue d'Ulm, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris.



The main building...

... and its pediment

It is close to the Luxembourg garden, the Panthéon, the Mouffetard street, the Saint-Michel fountain, and Notre-Dame cathedral...
