City of Marseille and Venue
Marseille is the oldest city in France and it has been a trading port since ancient times. Since its origins, Marseille's openness to the Mediterranean Sea has made it a cosmopolitan city characterised by cultural and economic exchanges with Southern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and Asia. It is also home to several higher education institutions in the region, including the University of Aix-Marseille, the largest French-speaking university in terms of student numbers. It is a multidisciplinary institution recognised as a major player in research, training and innovation at the regional, national and international levels.
The 27th workshop of the ETSF will be hosted by Aix-Marseille University (AMU) and CNRS, at the auditorium of Campus Joseph Aiguier. The poster session and breaks will be organized in the entrance hall of the auditorium.
