The Arsenal:

All lectures, poster sessions and lunches will take place at The Arsenal.  The Arsenal is an original cultural centre providing concert halls, an exhibition gallery, reception rooms, a museum shop, and managing two "satellite" historic monuments: the 12th century Templars' Chapel and the 4th century Saint-Pierre-aux-Nonnains Church.
An exceptional concert hall built by Ricardo BOFILL and inaugurated by Mstislav ROSTROPOVITCH in 1989, the Arsenal has developed an ambitious artistic policy, based on music and (contemporary) dance, regularly inviting composers and choreographers for periods in residence.
The Arsenal is home to the concerts given in Metz by Orchestre National de Lorraine as well as to the events organized by the major musical associations in Metz.
The Arsenal is also a popular venue for conferences, trade fairs or receptions organized by regional companies as well as national or European organizations.
Some 200 events take place at the Arsenal during the season running from September to June, attracting audiences of 120,000 and as many visitors.


The Arsenal is a NON SMOKING facility

Language

 

The official language of the Conference is English.
