Venue
- Salle Marcel Dargent, 2ème étage, centre Léon Bérard, Lyon, France. The room has a videoconference equipment.
- Information on how to come to the Léon Bérard center is available here.
- Hotels: there are a few options around at a walking distance of the Léon Bérard center, any option along the metro line metro D is good.
