The Institute will be held at the Institut d'Études Scientifiques
de Cargèse (Corsica). The lectures and seminars will be given from
9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 5 to 7 p.m. (except on Sunday) from Monday June 2
till Saturday June 14 included. Participants must arrive by
June 2 in the afternoon and stay for the whole duration of the Institute. Departure

TRAVEL :
The most convenient way to get to Cargese is by airplane to Ajaccio
airport, via Paris, Marseille or Nice. There is a convenient Air France
flight from Paris (Orly airport) leaving on June 2 at 12h55 PM and
arriving in Ajaccio at 14h 30 PM.
A coach will pick up the participants around 15.15 PM and bring
them to Cargse, where they will be directed to their housing. The same
coach will be available for those arriving earlier, for instance by
boat (the airport is not very far form the harbour). We strongly
encourage particpants to chose this solution.
For those who cannot make it for this schedule, please, let us
know and a solution will be proposed for your local transporation from
Ajaccio to Cargese. The departure from Cargese to Ajaccio will be organised on Saturday June 14 to
reach the available flights in Ajaccio.

Charles de Gaulle Airport (north of Paris). It is possible to reach
Orly airport from CDG in about 1h 30 by taking the RER B line south to
