campus USTL

The building SUP-SUAIO is easy to recognize since it is one of the few red brick buildings on the campus.
By clicking on the logo on the right you see that the building is just in front of the main buildings (M2, M3) of the department of Mathematics (and of hotel Ascotel).
On these pages [ in french | in english ] you can find a detailed description how to join the building M2 of the department of Mathematics. By the way, the offices of most of the Lille collegues members of the maths research institute Laboratoire Paul Painlevé can be found in these buildings M2 and M3, and the maths library BIBMATH is situated in building M2.

Location of the lecture hall
The lectures, the registration, and coffee breaks will take place in the main floor of the building SUP-SUAIO.

Short description how to find the campus/building
If you are coming by car: please have first a look at the more detailed description of the department of Mathematics [ in french | in english ]. The campus is situated in the south of Villeneuve d'Ascq, close to about 5 highways (towards Gent, Tournai/Brussels, Valenciennes, Paris, Dunquerque). In order to get the right exit, please click on the logo on the right. It is easiest probably to leave your car on one of the larger parking spots at the "Avenue Paul Langevin", and then walk a bit.
If you are coming by flight/train: please have first a look at the more detailed description of the department of Mathematics [ in french | in english ]. It is very easy to join the campus by metro (see the metro map on the right). In downtown Lille (for instance at the metro station at the railway station "Gare Lille Flandres") you take the metro line 1 direction "4 Cantons", and get out at the station "Cité Scientifique" (after about 15 minutes). You then follow the metro line southwards by feet for about 200 meters, where you see on your left a big round building (the central library BU). A bit later you see on the right a big teaching building M1 for mathematics. Just before you turn right into the "Avenue Carl Gauss". You then pass on your left the building M3, and a bit later on the right you see the conference building (and in front the hotel Ascotel).
Walking in downtown Lille: on the right you find a small map of downtown Lille. If you arrive already on Wednesday, you will have the chance to participate in the evening at the "fête de la musique" in the streets of downtown Lille. This is a major popular event everywhere in France, and especially in Lille: everybody who wants is in the streets and playing some music instrument. Usually, all styles of music can be found: starting from vocal ensembles, you find Classics/Jazz/Soul/Rock/Punk and all inbetween. Also, usually the nicest groups are playing in "Vieux Lille" which is a nicely renovated neighborhood of Lille in the north of the map (around the streets "Rue basse", "Rue de la monnaie", "Rue Esquemoise").
The conference dinner on thursday evening will probably take place in downtown Lille at the "Boulevard J.B. Lebas" in the south of the map, see this link for further details.
