Information on conference venue
How to reach Montpellier
Montpellier can be reached either by airplane, by train or by car easily.
The workshop will take place at the campus of university Montpellier II (university of sciences and technologies). Be careful there are three universities in Montpellier. The best way to reach the campus is to use the tramway (http://www.montpellier-agglo.com/tam/fr/carte_ligne/index.php). There are two tramway lines in Montpellier. The good one is the line 1 (the one with the blue trams). The stop corresponding to the university is: "université des sciences et lettres" . As most of the hotels are in the city center you have to take the tram in the direction "Mosson".
Tickets are available at each tramway stops (one way:1.40 euros, in-back:2.50 euros, ten trips: 11.80 euros). You have to validate your ticket once you are in the tram. Alternatively you can choose other type of tickets (familly, seven days ...) but hence you have to buy them at the main TAM shop located close to the train station. It takes usually about 15 mn to reach the university from the city center (Place de la Comédie).
Of course you can reach the university by taxi (ask the helpdesk of your hotel) or even by bicycle (http://www.montpellier-agglo.com/tam/page.php?id_rubrique=273).
How to reach the conference site
Once you are at the stop "université des sciences et lettres" to reach the university main entrance it is 5 mn walk. You have to go along the avenue Augustin Fliche (if you are coming from the city center the avenue is in front of you and is perpendicular to the tram railways). While walking you must see a "beautiful" sculture in red, the so-called donut

Once you are at the main entrance (place E.Bataillon) you can find Polytech easily (buliding 31).
