📍 Caen, Normandy 

Located in the heart of Normandy, Caen is a vibrant and welcoming city just two hours from Paris. Steeped in history, from William the Conqueror to D-Day, Caen also boasts a dynamic university ecosystem, a walkable city center, and a unique blend of culture, green spaces, and coastline. The congress venue, set in the modern health sciences campus, is just steps away from the medieval castle where our gala dinner will be held.
