CS2FE is back in Aussois!
We are very happy to host you in Aussois, a small village of the French Alps, at the CNRS resort Centre Paul Langevin.
The dates are June 7–12, 2026.
Practical information
Plan your trip :
– A shuttle will depart from Chambery railway station at 4:30 pm on June 7. We will reach the resort at around 6:30 pm and enjoy our first dinner together after check-in.
– On June 12, the shuttle will reach Chambery at 2:30 pm.
