The workshop will be held in building G, room G614 (sixth floor), on the campus of the University of Paris Ouest Nanterre.

You can reach the University by taking the RER A (the red underground line crossing Paris from east to west) :
Take care that the direction is "Saint-Germain-en-Laye " or "Le Vésinet" (not Cergy). Get off at the station "Nanterre-Université". From the station "Châtelet / Les Halles" or "Auber" it should take about 15 minutes.
