GENERAL INFORMATION
CEPS is located on two campuses, both around 25 km from Paris:
The 73rd Congress of the French Economic Association takes place at the newest campus, ENS Paris-Saclay,
South-West Building (bâtiment sud-ouest)
4 avenue des Sciences

in a bioclimatic building designed by the architect Renzo Piano. The building is structured around an enclosed garden envisioned by the renowned gardener Pascal Cribier.
On the first evening, a cocktail reception will be held at the LUMEN, a five-minute walk from the campus.
