Practicalities
Two venues, how to reach them, how to get around the city, and where to stay.
Where the conference takes place
Tue 8 – Wed 9 June · workshop · opening · reception
Mines Paris – PSL
60 Boulevard Saint-Michel, 75006 Paris
In the Latin Quarter, directly opposite the Jardin du Luxembourg. The main entrance is on Boulevard Saint-Michel; the doctoral workshop, the formal opening and the welcome reception all happen here.

You only need to make the journey once: everything on 8 and 9 June is at Mines Paris, everything on 10 and 11 June at Dauphine.

Getting to Paris
By air. Paris has two main airports, Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY), both linked to the city by public transport. The routes from each airport to the two venues are given above.
By rail. Paris is reachable by direct high-speed train from London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne, Frankfurt, Barcelona, Milan and most French cities. Gare du Nord, Gare de l’Est and Gare de Lyon are all on the Metro network. We encourage rail travel where it is a realistic option.
Getting around
Paris has a dense Metro, RER, bus and tram network operated by RATP and Île-de-France Mobilités. A contactless bank card or a Navigo Easy card works on all of it; one ticket covers any metro, RER or train journey in the region, except to and from the airports.
If you are staying for the week, a Navigo weekly pass (Monday to Sunday) is usually the cheapest option. Vélib’ bicycles are available across the city, and the center is genuinely walkable.
Accommodation
A range of accommodation options is available near Université Paris Dauphine – PSL or along Metro Line 2. This selection has been designed to make travel as easy as possible during the conference: hotels are either within walking distance of Dauphine or offer a direct Metro Line 2 connection to Porte Dauphine. Line 2 is also particularly convenient for reaching the conference gala, in the opposite direction.
