A program of the CFT is not a regular conference. It is a temporary laboratory, made to foster discussions, develop new projects, establish new collaborations. We love to hear about your recent discoveries, but we are also aiming at the next new ideas, the ones that do not exist yet. This is why these meetings leave ample time for discussion and working sessions.
The activities at these programs combine Lectures and Talks sessions.
There are various possibilities for accommodation, either in Orsay or in Paris (40-60 min commute by RER-B, depending where in Paris). In any case we recommend you to choose a location not too far from the RER-B line, so the daily commute will not cost too much time.
Institut Pascal has preferential rates at two hotels nearby. You can obtain these rates by contacting the hotels directly by email (see their websites - link below) and mentioning that you are attending Interstellar Institute 7 held at Institut Pascal.
Every day, generally in the morning, there will be different lectures. There will also be 30-minute or 1-hour talks by both young and senior researchers on their own work. Since the mornings are usually quite full, we plan to keep the afternoons lighter in order to leave space for discussions among the participants
