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-Y vette and you can reach it from Bures-sur-Yvette RER B station. But it tak es around 20-25 minutes on foot to reach it from the station.\nIs in the c entre of the village Saint Aubin and can be reach by bus 4609 (stop at Sai nt Aubin) about 5 minutes from the bus stop. Use the same line to get to C S.\nCould be reach by bus line 4606 (from Massy-Palaiseau RER B station). Use the same line to get to CS.\nIs at village of Saclay and could be reac hed by bus 4609 (stop at Mairie de Saclay)\, but it is going to be a bit l ong 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 Guichet s tation\, when you go down to Orsay city centre\, and in Orsay city centre. There are a few in Gif-sur-Yvette city centre. But not a lot near Central eSupelec.\n Location\nWorkshop venue – CentraleSupélec and LMPS (Laboratoi re de Mécanique de Paris-Saclay)\nThe workshop will be held at CentraleSup élec in partnership with ICMMO\, both sites being located within the perim eter of Université Paris-Saclay (UPS).  UPS comprises five faculties and i s affiliated with four prestigious engineering schools: CentraleSupélec\, ENS Paris-Saclay\, AgroParisTech\, and the Institut d'Optique\, as well as the universities of Evry and Versailles.  In the latest ARWU rankings\, i t is ranked 13th worldwide and first among French universities.\nCentraleS upélec is a leading engineering school that combines academic rigor and pr actical expertise to train the responsible leaders of tomorrow. Its main m issions are training high-level scientific general engineers\, research in engineering and systems sciences\, and executive education.  A major play er in engineering science research\, CentraleSupélec develops cutting‑edge research to foster innovation.  Driven by an interdisciplinary dynamic\, its Research Centre is committed to addressing major technological\, socie tal\, and environmental challenges.\nThe LMPS (Laboratoire de Mécanique Pa ris-Saclay) was created in 2022 through the merger of the LMT (Laboratoire de Mécanique et Technologie - ENS Paris-Saclay) and MSSMat (Laboratoire d e Mécanique des Sols\, Structures et Matériaux - CentraleSupélec).  Compri sing nearly 220 staff members\, this research unit\, associated to CNRS\, dedicated to experimentation\, modelling\, and simulation in solid mechani cs\, aims to address challenges in the fields of energy\, resource managem ent\, and sustainable transportation\, particularly in relation to climate change adaptation and industrial renewal.\nWorkshop venue – Facilities\nT he workshop will be held at CentraleSupélec\, rue Joliot Curie\, 91190 Gif -sur-Yvette.  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 the main entrance of the Bouygues building\;No. 3 is the entrance of the Campanile hotel. T he Rousseau theatre is situated in the Bouygues building just after the we lcome desk on the left.\nThe exhibition/break/posters/lunch area is at the Michelin terrasse situated on the 1st floor of the Eiffel building. Take the stairs on the right just after the main entrance.\n\ntop\n \n Sightsee ing\nThere are some nice places around Gif-sur-Yvette / Orsay but they are not so easy to reach without a car.  For some touristic attractions it is probably easier to think at Paris.  Paris is at about 1 hour from the con ference centre using RER B line (south direction).\nIf you would like to v isit the Notre Dame cathedral\, which reopened last year after the memorab le fire\, it is free of charge (without guide) but you have to booked in a dvance and booking is only possible the morning of the selected day (at le ast at present).  See web site: https://resa.notredamedeparis.fr/en/reserv ationindividuelle/tickets\nYou can go on the cathedral towers and get your ticket here: https://resa.notredamedeparis.fr/en/reservationindividuelle/ tickets\nThere is also an immersive virtual reality tour on the cathedral front square\, Eternal Notre Dame: https://parisjetaime.com/eng/tickets/et ernal-notre-dame-m9001308.  For this one\, if you have a Navigo card (most probably to use the public transport) choose the second choice (reduced p rice).\nFor any other attraction\, the Louvre or Orsay museums\, Eiffel to wer\, etc… book in advance.\ntop\n \n How to get to Paris\, then to Centra leSupélec\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 a nd 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 Université Pari s-Saclay or Moulon (follow the students).  You could eventually take bus 4 606 and stop Unversité Paris-Saclay or Moulon.\n3   Stop at Orsay-ville RE R B station then take the bus 4607 (take the street down the station\, fol low the students) and stop at Lieu de Vie or Université Paris-Saclay.\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 airport tak e the “Orlyval” tram line to the Antony terminus (7 minutes).  Then take R ER B as above.\nFrom Beauvais airport take the shuttle to Paris Porte Mail lot.  Then the metro line 1 to Chatelet and RER B from Chatelet-Les Halles .  Then as above.\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 Rémy lès Chevreuse or Orsay-ville or eventually Mass-Palaiseau ).  Then as above.\nNote that in the morning\, buses from Massy-Palaiseau or Le Guichet could be quite crowed to reach CenraleSupélec.  We are waiti ng 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 is rue Joliot Curie at Gif-s ur-Yvette\; take care if you drive to the school as the entrance of the ca r park is on the other side of the building.  In that case you have to arr ive via ‘avenue des Sciences‘\, then take the little road called ‘rue Noet zlin’.  However\, contact us in advance so you could get a car park code t o enter into it\; code that you will have to enter at the barrier to be ab le to go down the slope.  We will then explain to you how to reach the wor kshop.\ntop\n \n Key dates\n \n\n\n\n\n15 April 2026\n15 April 2026\n23 Ap ril 2026\n23 April 2026\n30 April 2026\n14-17 June 2026\n\n\ndeadline for submission of abstracts for poster presentations\ndeadline for application s for EMAS Bursaries\nnotification of acceptance of poster contributions\n notification of decision on EMAS Bursary applications\nearly registration deadline\nEMAS 2026 Regional Workshop\, Gif-sur-Yvette\, France\n\n\n\n\nt op\n \n Organizing Committees\nInternational Scientific Committee\n\n\n\n \nFrançois Brisset\nGrzegorz Cios\nRené de Kloe\nHans Dijkstra\nUte Glolla -Schindler\nBjorn E.
