IMPORTANT: Tram Line 2 will be cut between Orvault Grand Val and 50 Otages due to construction from June 25, 2023 to August 27, 2023. That doesn't mean you cannot come to the conference location by public transport. From Commerce station (main tram stationin Nantes downtown), you can take tram 2 to “50 Otages” station. Then take the "Bus relais" from "50 Otages" to "Ecole Centrale - Audencia" station.
