To provide the best hybrid meeting experience, all participants should join the virtual meeting in Zoom, including those attending in person. Prior to the meeting, please install the Zoom app, which you can download for free here.

2.1 On-site attendance

The meeting will be held in the N113 conference room of Ensad Nancy school, located at 1 place Cartier-Bresson, 54000 Nancy. Entrances are on the northwest corner of the building or from the alley on the south side (hidden among the scaffolding). Outer doors are locked and someone with an access card will need to let attendees in. On the first day, an ANRT representative (Varya Goncharova) will meet you at the ground floor entrance hall to guide you through the building and give you the access cards for the building and lift. (Please remember to return access cards on Wednesday.) Please aim to arrive at the building at 1 PM.

Local transportation: Stan Nancy runs local buses and trolleys. The T1 trolley can be taken from the city center (Place Stanislas) or from the Nancy train station; the ARTEM-Blandan-Thermal stop is next to the ARTEM campus. From the city center, you can also take Bus 11, which stops directly in front of the venue. There are ticket-selling machines at each stop. All public transport is free on weekends. (A helpful guide, in English, Spanish or French, is also available at busmaps.com.) When arriving by trolley T1, walk along the glass façade of the campus for five minutes; the last building you reach will be the Ensad school.

For taxis, Uber or Bolt are convenient options.

Zoom meeting: When joining the Zoom meeting in person, make sure that the “Use computer audio” option is not selected. See the Online attendance section below for additional details.
