  • How to reach the conference centre « the Corum » from the airport or the train station:

    - from the airport:

    In front of the airport, take the shuttle “aeroport” (bus roughly every 1 hour, cost around 5 euros). At the terminus, take the tram (line 1, blue one), direction “Mosson”. Get off at the station “Corum”. The conference centre is upstairs.

    ps: if you prefer to come with a taxi, the price from the airport to the Corum should not exceed 25 euros.

    - from the train station

    on foot: in front of the station, go straight away (maguelone street) up to the “comedie” place. Then the conference centre “Le corum” is on your right, around 500 meters away.

    By tram: in front of the station, take the tram (line 1), direction “Mosson”. Get off at the station “Corum”.

  • Student guest House.

    In order to schedule your welcome, please give as soon as possible by e-mail (NT08@lcvn.univ-montp2.fr) the date and time of your arrival (by train/flight/others) in Montpellier.

    If you arrive either on Friday 27th or Saturday 28th before 7 pm, on Sunday 29th before 11 pm, or before 7 pm all the other days please come downtown to the conference centre ”Le Corum” nearby the train station (see the map on the site). Over there, you will be given all the relevant information to reach the student guest houses (very easy by tram).

    Within few days, the precise localization of each participant in the guest houses together with maps and information about the best way to reach the student guest houses will be posted on the web site

  • To go from the station or downtown to the guest house: “*COLOMBIERE”*

    Catch the tramway (line 1 or blue one), direction *MOSSON* and get off at “*HOPITAL LAPEYRONIE”*.

    The guest house is in front of the stop, on the other side of the road at about 100 m.

    To go from the station or downtown to the guest house: “*VOIE DOMITIENNE”:*

    Catch the tramway (line 1 or blue one), direction MOSSON and get off at “*SAINT ELOI”*

    At the stop, you take the great avenue 20 m before the stop (it is easy to found, there is a great column at a corner). You take this avenue down on your right (on the opposite side of the column). The guest house is on this avenue at about 700 m of the corner. Walk 500 m up a big Avenue “Charles FLAHAUT”, cross it, the guest house is 200 m away on the right.

    To reach the conference center “Corum” takes the tram (line 1 or blue one), direction: “ODYSSEUM” and get off at station “CORUM”, then go upstairs in front of the stop.

    The localization of the participants in both guest houses is given in the two attached files (Cité Voie Domitienne, Cité Colombière, .pdf)

  • Sightseeing tour and banquet

    A sightseeing tour by bus will be organized on Wednesday afternoon, July 2nd, for discovering the countryside around Montpellier. This beautiful landscape includes vineyards of Languedoc, wild areas, typical villages from the middle-age, and several wonderful caves.

    The buses will leave the Corum just after the morning session. Lunch boxes will be
    distributed to each participant. Since the program includes the visit of caves, it is therefore recommended to take non slippery shoes and a warm coat.

    The tour is combined with the conference dinner which will take place in the famous  “Abbaye de Valmagne ”. This means that there will be no return to Montpellier before the dinner.

    We will be around midnight either to the hotels, down town or student guest houses.

  • Poster awards

    For each poster session, a president and experts are asked to select three specific posters which are considered as real breakthrough in the field (possibly four posters for session F due to the number of posters involved).

    After the discussion of the selection committees, the presidents will inform the organizing committee about their decisions. A session dedicated to "poster awards" is planned on Friday afternoon (around 4 pm).
