Location

The conference will be held at the Campus Beaulieu of the University of Rennes 1, situated in the eastern part of Rennes. The lectures will take place at Pôle Numérique Rennes Beaulieu (PNRB), at the south of the campus.

The bus is probably the most practical way to reach the PNRB. Rennes has a large bus network (see here) and the bus ticket - 1.50 euros in the subway stations or directly to the bus driver - can be used during one hour. From the city centre you need to take either bus C4, C6 and stop at Les Préales, there is then a 100m walk to reach the PNRB.

Here is a map of Rennes and a campus map.
