Location: Sessions will be held on the campus of ENSAM in Aix-en-Provence. Aix-en-Provence is a historic city in southern France, renowned for its Provençal charm, architecture, and surrounding landscapes, including vineyards and the nearby Mediterranean coast. The ENSAM campus is centrally located, within walking distance of downtown Aix. Mid-June typically offers pleasant weather, making it an ideal setting for both scientific exchange and cultural exploration.
Social Program
- Mid-week excursion to the Calanques of Cassis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calanques_National_Park
- Conference banquet in Aix-en-Provence
Practical Information
- The ENSAM campus is just 700 meters (a 7-minute walk) from Cours Mirabeau, Aix’s central tree-lined boulevard filled with cafés and shops. ENSAM is located at 2 Cr des Arts et Métiers, 13617 Aix-en-Provence, France (click here for map).
- Hotels: We invite participants to arrange their own accommodation, with many charming hotels and options available in central Aix-en-Provence, most within walking distance of the ENSAM campus.
