Workshop "Science at Extreme Conditions with an Ultimate Source"

Final AGENDA

Aim of the Workshop

The aim of this workshop is to stimulate discussion among the ESRF user community around the opportunities opened by a new ultimate synchrotron source, in the field of science at extreme (very high/ultra low) conditions of pressure, temperature, magnetic or electric field and their combinations.

In the framework of the Users Meeting, this event will feature plenary talks followed by discussion forums.

Important Documents

Workshop dinner

A bus will take you directly from Minatec to the workshop dinner at 18:30. Dinner will take place at the gourmet restaurant Le Fantin Latour, downtown. The price of the meal is 50€ all-inclusive.

This fine 19C townhouse, formerly the Musée Fantin Latour, makes for a fairy-tale setting. There is plenty of character in the food with its complex associations of flavours, vegetables and vivid colours. The chef makes the food into a real spectacle!

Do you know who was H. Fantin Latour?
