Campus
The workshop is hosted by the "Institut de Physique des 2 Infinis (IP2I Lyon)". It is located on the campus "LyonTech - la Doua" (Lyon 1 University) in the "Paul Dirac" building (4 Rue Enrico Fermi, 69100 Villeurbanne).
All sessions will be held in "Amphi Dirac", which is on the ground floor in front of the main entrance.
Transit between the city center and the Lyon 1 campus is direct with tram lines T1 and T4 (tram station: "Université Lyon 1"). More information on how to reach IP2I can be found here.
From the tram stop "Université Lyon 1", you can walk to the IP2I (6 minutes): follow the tram track in the same direction that the tram goes and turn on the first road on the left. The IP2I (Paul Dirac building) is down the road (click on the link below to see a map). It is the last building on the left, just after "Maison d'Hôtes".
Meals
For the participants who registered for the lunches, a buffet will take place each day in the Dirac building (4th floor, in the IP2I library) without fees. For the other participants, there is the "Maison d'Hôte" (next to the Dirac building), or the "Domus" restaurant in the Lyon 1 campus (see map above). In this case, the lunches will be chargeable to them. There are 3 formulas for the fee of 1 lunch for visitors (15€89, 16€60, 17€31), to be paid at the restaurant (cash or credit card).
A social diner (no extra fee) is programmed on Thursday 14 evening, at 20h, at the "Le Café Des Fédérations" in Lyon, a typical "bouchon lyonnais". Adress : 10 Rue Major Martin, 69001 Lyon.
