Practicalities, how to get there, and answers to questions

The conference takes place in the École nationale des ponts et chaussées
6 et 8 avenue Blaise-Pascal - Cité Descartes – Champs-sur-Marne
77455 Marne-la-Vallée Cedex 2

Access by the RER A suburban train line:
station Noisy - Champs, exit 3 - Cité Descartes (front of the train when arriving from Paris).
Walking directions (6-7 mn): https://ecoledesponts.fr/en/getting-school. Be careful that if you exit the RER station at another exit, there is a long way to go by foot (20 mn).

Please pay attention to the terminus of the RER A suburbs trains: trains to Torcy or Marne La Vallée go to Noisy-Champs, you should board one of them, in the front coach if possible. Trains to Boissy-Saint-Léger are wrong for us as they take another embranchment.
When in Noisy-Champs, be careful to exit from the RER station at [Sortie 3 Cité Descartes], and take the footpath to the new entrance of the Ecole des Ponts, 6-8 avenue Blaise Pascal.  A welcome desk is situated in the “Carnot” building (main building), 6-8 avenue Blaise Pascal. The name tags will be distributed by the welcome desk when you enter the main building.

Lunch, coffee and refreshments will be provided. Yet, to avoid generating too much plastic waste, we will not provide water bottles and ask you to come with your own water bottles. You can fill them at the water fountains in the aisles of the main building.
