Venue
Conference
The summer school will take place at Maison Jean Kuntzmann of the University Campus in Grenoble, France. You can see the precise location on the map below:
How to get there?
- By train: Grenoble is directly connected to Lyon and Paris by high-speed trains (TGV), and to Geneva by regional trains (TER). The journey takes about 3 hours from Paris and 2 hours from Geneva. If you come from south of France and Spain / Portugal, you will probably have to change at Valence and take a regional train or a bus.
- By plane: The two closest international airports are Lyon and Geneva (there is also a very small airport located near Grenoble. If you are lucky, maybe there is a flight for you from / to there). There are regular bus shuttles from these airports to Grenoble Gare Routière (Grenoble Bus Station, in the city center).
Once you are in Grenoble, you can easily reach the campus by Tram (or bicycle). From the city center, you can take both Trams B and C. Stop at "Bibliothèques Universitaires".
The tram lines (raw extraction from OpenStreetMap data) are superimposed to the map above. You can click on each stop to display some information about it. You can find more information (map, schedule, bus lines...) about the public transportation system in Grenoble on the TAG website.
