Venue

Toulouse downtown, University of Social Sciences, very well located, in a very quiet environement (parks and small streets around). Many cheap hotels and restaurants in a very close vincinity. The university stands in the heart of the old city with many museums, old buildings and old churches around. Toulouse has a lot of historical buildings, spots and museums which can be visited till late in the evening.

Toulouse is also the place where a majority of Airbuses are built and where a large number of elements of the European satellites are developed and assembled. It has several attractive related visits (Airspace park, assembly chains of Airbus, etc.). Finally it is close enough to the Mediterranean sea and to the Pyrennees, where hikes can easily be undertaken (see social events). The city of Toulouse is safe and very friendly to visitors.

A brief WEB page with (1) 2 maps of Toulouse showing the location of the University of Social Sciences, (2) a few pictures from outside and inside the building and (3) links to other useful sources of information is available at (capital letters must be respected in Unix):
