Conference venue & travel tips

• See the “Conference venue” section.

Preparation of papers

Each presentation is allotted a time slot of 30 minutes, including question time.

Powerpoint presentations will be possible.

Centre Paul Langevin has a copying machine which participants in the conference may use to copy their papers or handouts. The price per copy, however, is steep: 18 Euros cents/copy under 500 copies, 12 cents between 500 and 1000 copies, 9 c. above 1000 copies. Participants are therefore advised to bring their own copies to the conference.

The number of handouts you should provide should be about 150 for plenary talks, and from 70 to 90 for parallel sessions.

Besides hosting conferences, the Centre Paul Langevin also provides accommodation and catering, with a capacity of 200 guests.
