Graph Theory 2004

Paris, July 5-9, 2004

Practical Information


We have been obliged to change the site of our conference in order to make way for a conference for people with special needs.

The conference will now be held at the Couvent des Cordeliers, a medical research centre of the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris 6), situated at 15, rue de l'école de médecine in the 6th arrondissement.

Registration will take place in the "Salle du Conseil des Cordeliers" from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday July 4 and on Monday from 8 a.m. on. Follow these directions to get to the Couvent des Cordeliers from airports and train stations. In order to reach the Salle du Conseil des Cordeliers, enter the Couvent des Cordeliers at the main entrance (15, rue de l'école de médecine), turn right into the corridor, proceed straight ahead to the end of the cloisters passage, turn left and proceed straight ahead to staircase C, climb the first set of steps and turn right.

Because of renovation work taking place at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, the research group founded by Claude Berge over thirty years ago (formerly, known as the Equipe Combinatoire, now Combinatoire et Optimisation), as well as the Mathematics Library, are currently located in the 13th arrondissement at rue du Chevaleret.
