CS can be r eached by RER B (stop at Orsay-ville) then bus 4607 or can be reached by R ER B (stop at Le Guichet) then by bus (4609).\nIs not in the centre of Gif -sur-Yvette and you can reach it from Bures-sur-Yvette RER B station. But it takes around 20-25 minutes on foot to reach it from the station.\nIs in the centre of the village Saint Aubin and can be reach by bus 4609 (stop at Saint Aubin) about 5 minutes from the bus stop. Use the same line to ge t to CS.\nCould be reach by bus line 4606 (from Massy-Palaiseau RER B stat ion). Use the same line to get to CS.\nIs at village of Saclay and could b e reached by bus 4609 (stop at Mairie de Saclay)\, but it is going to be a bit long from Massy-Palaiseau RER B station\, better by car.\nIs easy to reach but by car.\n\nNote that there are restaurants near the RER B Le Gui chet station\, when you go down to Orsay city centre\, and in Orsay city c entre. There are a few in Gif-sur-Yvette city centre. But not a lot near C entraleSupelec.\n Location\nWorkshop venue – CentraleSupélec and LMPS (Lab oratoire de Mécanique de Paris-Saclay)\nThe workshop will be held at Centr aleSupélec in partnership with ICMMO\, both sites being located within the perimeter of Université Paris-Saclay (UPS).  UPS comprises five faculties and is affiliated with four prestigious engineering schools: CentraleSupé lec\, ENS Paris-Saclay\, AgroParisTech\, and the Institut d'Optique\, as w ell as the universities of Evry and Versailles.  In the latest ARWU rankin gs\, it is ranked 13th worldwide and first among French universities.\nCen traleSupélec is a leading engineering school that combines academic rigor and practical expertise to train the responsible leaders of tomorrow. Its main missions are training high-level scientific general engineers\, resea rch in engineering and systems sciences\, and executive education.  A majo r player in engineering science research\, CentraleSupélec develops cuttin g‑edge research to foster innovation.  Driven by an interdisciplinary dyna mic\, its Research Centre is committed to addressing major technological\, societal\, and environmental challenges.\nThe LMPS (Laboratoire de Mécani que Paris-Saclay) was created in 2022 through the merger of the LMT (Labor atoire de Mécanique et Technologie - ENS Paris-Saclay) and MSSMat (Laborat oire de Mécanique des Sols\, Structures et Matériaux - CentraleSupélec).   Comprising nearly 220 staff members\, this research unit\, associated to C NRS\, dedicated to experimentation\, modelling\, and simulation in solid m echanics\, aims to address challenges in the fields of energy\, resource m anagement\, and sustainable transportation\, particularly in relation to c limate change adaptation and industrial renewal.\nWorkshop venue – Facilit ies\nThe workshop will be held at CentraleSupélec\, rue Joliot Curie\, 911 90 Gif-sur-Yvette.  Facilities in buildings Eiffel and Bouygues will be us ed.  A free car park will be possible for whose coming by car (see map).  \n\nNo. 1 is the main entrance of the Eiffel building\; No. 2 is the main entrance of the Bouygues building\; No. 3 is the entrance of the Campanile hotel. The Rousseau theatre is situated in the Bouygues building just aft er the welcome desk on the left.\nThe exhibition/break/posters/lunch area is at the Michelin terrasse situated on the 1st floor of the Eiffel buildi ng. Take the stairs on the right just after the main entrance.\n\ntop\n \n  Sightseeing\nThere are some nice places around Gif-sur-Yvette / Orsay but they are not so easy to reach without a car.  For some touristic attracti ons it is probably easier to think at Paris.  Paris is at about 1 hour fro m the conference centre using RER B line (south direction).\nIf you would like to visit the Notre Dame cathedral\, which reopened last year after th e memorable fire\, it is free of charge (without guide) but you have to bo oked in advance and booking is only possible the morning of the selected d ay (at least at present).  See web site: https://resa.notredamedeparis.fr/ en/reservationindividuelle/tickets\nYou can go on the cathedral towers and get your ticket here: https://resa.notredamedeparis.fr/en/reservationindi viduelle/tickets\nThere is also an immersive virtual reality tour on the c athedral front square\, Eternal Notre Dame: https://parisjetaime.com/eng/t ickets/eternal-notre-dame-m9001308.  For this one\, if you have a Navigo c ard (most probably to use the public transport) choose the second choice ( reduced price).\nFor any other attraction\, the Louvre or Orsay museums\, Eiffel tower\, etc… book in advance.\ntop\n \n How to get to Paris\, then to CentraleSupélec\n- By air\nFrom the Roissy Charles de Gaule airport you have to take the RER B (direction Massy Saint Rémy lès Chevreuse or Orsay -ville or eventually Mass-Palaiseau).  Then they are 3 options:\n1   Stop at Massy-Palaiseau RER B station and take the bus 4606 direction Christ de Saclay and stop at Moulon (or eventually Université Paris-Saclay).\n2   S top at Le Guichet RER station. T hen take the bus line 4609 just down the station (direction Campus HEC or Gare de Jouy en Josas) and stop at Univer sité Paris-Saclay or Moulon (follow the students).  You could eventually t ake bus 4606 and stop Unversité Paris-Saclay or Moulon.\n3   Stop at Orsay -ville RER B station then take the bus 4607 (take the street down the stat ion\, follow the students) and stop at Lieu de Vie or Université Paris-Sac lay.\nBus map lines: https://www.paris-saclay.com/vos-services/transports/ bus/\nRER B line: https://www.ratp.fr/plans-lignes/rer/b\nFrom the Orly ai rport take the “Orlyval” tram line to the Antony terminus (7 minutes).  Th en take RER B as above.\nFrom Beauvais airport take the shuttle to Paris P orte Maillot.  Then the metro line 1 to Chatelet and RER B from Chatelet-L es Halles.  Then as above.\n\n- By train\nFrom Gare du Nord\, Gare de l’Es t or any train station of Paris\, get the RER B in Paris at any station (d irection Massy Saint Rémy lès Chevreuse or Orsay-ville or eventually Mass- Palaiseau).  Then as above.\nNote that in the morning\, buses from Massy-P alaiseau or Le Guichet could be quite crowed to reach CenraleSupélec.  We are waiting for the new metro line to open in 2026\, but it is not yet ope n.\n- By car\nThe best is to use your navigator\, because to drive around Paris if you come from the north or the east\, several roads could be rec ommended.  The official address of the CentraleSupélec is rue Joliot Curie at Gif-sur-Yvette\; take care if you drive to the school as the entrance of the car park is on the other side of the building.  In that case you ha ve to arrive via ‘avenue des Sciences‘\, then take the little road called ‘rue Noetzlin’.  However\, contact us in advance so you could get a car pa rk code to enter into it\; code that you will have to enter at the barrier to be able to go down the slope.  We will then explain to you how to reac h the workshop.\ntop\n \n Key dates\n \n\n\n\n\n15 April 2026\n15 April 20 26\n23 April 2026\n23 April 2026\n30 April 2026\n14-17 June 2026\n\n\ndead line for submission of abstracts for poster presentations\ndeadline for ap plications for EMAS Bursaries\nnotification of acceptance of poster contri butions\nnotification of decision on EMAS Bursary applications\nearly regi stration deadline\nEMAS 2026 Regional Workshop\, Gif-sur-Yvette\, France\n \n\n\n\ntop\n \n Organizing Committees\nInternational Scientific Committee \n\n\n\n\nFrançois Brisset\nGrzegorz Cios\nRené de Kloe\nHans Dijkstra\nUt e Glolla-Schindler\nBjorn E.
