Venue

 

The conference will take place in the Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers (CNAM). The Cnam was created in 1794, during the French Revolution, on the location of a medieval monastery, the royal abbey of Saint-Martin des Champs. Nowadays, thanks to its integrated network, the CNAM spreads higher adult education and life-long training, in France and abroad.

The CNAM is located at 2 Rue Conté, Paris, in the 3rd arrondissement of Paris, in the historical area of the city named Le Marais.

The CNAM hosts the Musée des Arts et Métiers that you will be able to visit during the conference. The museum groups a collection of inventions, including the Foucault pendulum.

The plenary sessions will take place in the Amphiteatrum Gaston Planté, and the breaks in the Salon d'Honneur.
