CS can be reached by RER B (stop at Orsay-ville) then bus 4607 or can be reached by RER 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 reac h by bus 4609 (stop at Saint Aubin) about 5 minutes from the bus stop. Use the same line to get to CS.\nCould be reach by bus line 4606 (from Massy- Palaiseau RER B station). Use the same line to get to CS.\nIs at village o f Saclay and could be reach by bus 4609 (stop at Mairie de Saclay)\, but i t 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 nea r the RER B Le Guichet station\, when you go down to Orsay city centre\, a nd in Orsay city centre. There are a few in Gif-sur-Yvette city centre. Bu t not a lot near CentraleSupelec.\nLocation\nWorkshop venue – CentraleSupé lec and LMPS (Laboratoire de Mécanique de Paris-Saclay)\nThe workshop will be held at CentraleSupélec in partnership with ICMMO\, both sites being l ocated within the perimeter of Université Paris-Saclay (UPS).  \;UPS c omprises five faculties and is affiliated with four prestigious engineerin g schools: CentraleSupélec\, ENS Paris-Saclay\, AgroParisTech\, and the In stitut d'Optique\, as well as the universities of Evry and Versailles. &nb sp\;In \;the latest ARWU rankings\, it is ranked 13th worldwide and fi rst among French universities.\nCentraleSupélec is a leading engineering s chool that combines academic rigor and practical expertise to train the re sponsible leaders of tomorrow. Its main missions are training high-level s cientific general engineers\, research in engineering and systems sciences \, and executive education. \; A major player in engineering science r esearch\, CentraleSupélec develops cutting‑edge research to foster innovat ion.  \;Driven by an interdisciplinary dynamic\, its Research Centre i s committed to addressing major technological\, societal\, and environment al challenges.\nThe LMPS (Laboratoire de Mécanique Paris-Saclay) was creat ed in 2022 through the merger of the LMT (Laboratoire de Mécanique et Tech nologie - ENS Paris-Saclay) and MSSMat (Laboratoire de Mécanique des Sols\ , Structures et Matériaux - CentraleSupélec).  \;Comprising nearly 220 staff members\, this research unit\, associated to CNRS\, dedicated to ex perimentation\, modelling\, and simulation in solid mechanics\, aims to ad dress challenges in the fields of energy\, resource management\, and susta inable transportation\, particularly in relation to climate change adaptat ion and industrial renewal.\nWorkshop venue – Facilities\nThe workshop wil l be held at CentraleSupélec\, rue Joliot Curie\, 91190 Gif-sur-Yvette.&nb sp\; \;Facilities in buildings Eiffel and Bouygues will be used. \ ; \;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 t he main entrance of the Bouygues building\; No. 3 is the entrance of the C ampanile hotel. The Rousseau theatre is situated in the Bouygues building just after the welcome desk on the left.\nThe exhibition/break/posters/lun ch area is at the Michelin terrasse situated on the 1st floor of the Eiffe l building. Take the stairs on the right just after the main entrance.\n\n top\n \;\nSightseeing\nThere are some nice places around Gif-sur-Yvett e / Orsay but they are not so easy to reach without a car. \; For some touristic attractions it is probably easier to think at Paris.  \;Par is is at about 1 hour from the conference centre using RER B line (south d irection).\nIf you would like to visit the Notre Dame cathedral\, which re opened last year after the memorable fire\, it is free of charge (without guide) but you have to booked in advance and booking is only possible the morning of the selected day (at least at present).  \;See web site: ht tps://resa.notredamedeparis.fr/en/reservationindividuelle/tickets\nYou can go on the cathedral towers and get your ticket here: \;https://resa.n otredamedeparis.fr/en/reservationindividuelle/tickets\nThere is also an im mersive virtual reality tour on the cathedral front square\, Eternal Notre Dame: https://parisjetaime.com/eng/tickets/eternal-notre-dame-m9001308.&n bsp\; For this one\, if you have a Navigo card (most probably to use the p ublic transport) choose the second choice (reduced price).\nFor any other attraction\, the Louvre or Orsay museums\, Eiffel tower\, etc… book in adv ance.\ntop\n \;\nHow to get to Paris\, then to CentraleSupélec\n- By a ir\nFrom the Roissy Charles de Gaule airport you have to take the RER B (d irection 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 \;  \; Stop 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 Un iversité Paris-Saclay or Moulon (follow the students).  \;You could ev entually take bus 4606 and stop Unversité Paris-Saclay or Moulon.\n3 \ ; \; Stop at Orsay-ville RER B station then take the bus 4607 (take th e street down the station\, follow the students) and stop at Lieu de Vie o r Université Paris-Saclay.\nBus map lines: \;https://www.paris-saclay. com/vos-services/transports/bus/\nRER B line: \;https://www.ratp.fr/pl ans-lignes/rer/b\nFrom the Orly airport take the “Orlyval” tram line to th e Antony terminus (7 minutes). \; Then take RER B as above.\nFrom Beau vais airport take the shuttle to Paris Porte Maillot.  \;Then the metr o line 1 to Chatelet and RER B from Chatelet-Les Halles. \; Then as ab ove.\n\n- By train\nFrom Gare du Nord\, Gare de l’Est or any train station of Paris\, get the RER B in Paris at any station (direction Massy Saint R émy lès Chevreuse or Orsay-ville or eventually Mass-Palaiseau).  \;The n as above.\nNote that in the morning\, buses from Massy-Palaiseau or Le G uichet could be quite crowed to reach CenraleSupélec.  \;We are waitin g for the new metro line to open in 2026\, but it is not yet open.\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 recommended.  \;The official address of the CentraleSupélec official address 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 have 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 park code to enter into it\; code that you will hav e to enter at the barrier to be able to go down the slope.  \;We will then explain to you how to reach the workshop.\ntop\n \;\nKey dates\n& nbsp\;\n\n\n\n\n15 April 2026\n15 April 2026\n23 April 2026\n23 April 2026 \n30 April 2026\n14-17 June 2026\n\n\ndeadline for submission of abstracts for poster presentations\ndeadline for applications for EMAS Bursaries\nn otification of acceptance of poster contributions\nnotification of decisio n on EMAS Bursary applications\nearly registration deadline\nEMAS 2026 Reg ional Workshop\, Gif-sur-Yvette\, France\n\n\n\n\ntop\n \;\nOrganizing Committees\nInternational Scientific Committee\n\n\n\n\nFrançois Brisset \nGrzegorz Cios\nRené de Kloe\nHans Dijkstra\nUte Glolla-Schindler\nBjorn E.
