minischool@lct.jussieu.fr
and indicate:
- your name and affiliation;
- whether you want to participate to the group lunches on Wednesday and Thursday;
- whether you are a CNRS staff (either permanent or non permanent).
To facilitate the participation of young researchers, no registration fees will be asked. However, accommodation will not be provided but must be arranged independently by the participants.
The registration is closed
Location of the mini-school
The mini-school will take place on the Pierre et Marie Curie (or Jussieu) campus of Sorbonne Université, 4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris.
Subway (Metro) lines 7 or 10: get off at "Jussieu" station.
From the main entrance of the campus, go to Tower 16. Take the stairs or the elevator to the third level. Find corridor 15-16, and then the room 309. This is the seminar room of Laboratoire Jacques-Louis Lions. All the lectures will take place in this seminar room.
Lunches
On Wednesday and Thursday, lunch at Restaurant L'Ardoise (Jussieu campus, entrance near Tower 25) will be offered to registered participants to the mini-school (see the list of registered participants on the page List of registered participants).
Arriving by Plane
Both Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris-Orly international airports are connected to the center of Paris by RER (fast regional railway) or coaches. The RER is connected to the subway (Metro) network. It costs about 10 euros to go from either airport to the center of Paris and it takes about one hour.
For more information, check the Paris airports website.
From Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport
From the airport take RER line B. Stop at "St-Michel-Notre-Dame" station. Take subway line 10 direction "Austerlitz" and stop at "Jussieu" station.
From Paris-Orly airport
From the airport take the monorail "OrlyVal" to "Antony". Take RER line B. Stop at "St-Michel-Notre-Dame" station. Take subway line 10 direction "Austerlitz" and stop at "Jussieu" station.
Arriving by Train
All the railway stations are in downtown Paris and are connected to the subway network. For train reservation, check the SNCF web site.
From any train station follow the sign "M" to the subway.
Arriving by Subway or Bus
For more information on the RER, Subway and Bus systems, check the RATP web site, and in particular the Subway and RER map.
