Université Grenoble Alpes
Located in the heart of a remarkable environment with 3 mountain ranges (Belledonne, Chartreuse and Vercors), Université Grenoble Alpes is situated on several sites in the Grenoble metropolitan area (Grenoble Alpes Métropole). The main campus, located in the districts of Gières and Saint-Martin-d’Hères, is recognized as one of the most beautiful in France, with its 3,000 trees, cultural and sports facilities and unique architecture.
All talks and keynotes will take place in the building Pierre Mendès France, located near the TRAM Station “Bibliothèques Universitaires”. This area, designed for teaching large groups, features several recently renovated auditoriums.
Exact address: 77 Rue des Universités, 38400 Saint-Martin-d’Hères, France
Getting there
Three international airports are located less than 90 minutes from Grenoble: Lyon Saint-Exupéry, Grenoble Alpes Isère and Geneva. In total, more than 200 direct destinations are accessible.
With up to 10 direct Grenoble-Paris round trips by high-speed TGV train, and with the Lyon Part-Dieu hub 1hr15mins away, the rail offer from Grenoble is also very attractive. Ideally located in the city centre, Grenoble railway station is perfectly connected to the city’s bus and tram network.
Finally, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes motorway network is the most densely populated area after Île-de-France. Thanks to the A41, A48, A49 and A51 motorways, Grenoble is easily connected to Lyon, the Rhone Valley, Switzerland and Italy.
Upon arrival in Grenoble, we recommend that attendees stay in the city centre (see Accommodation) and use the tram to travel to and from the conference venue on campus.
The venue is directly accessible from the city centre via tram lines B and C. Attendees will be provided with a tram ticket valid for the duration of the conference.
