Technical visits, September 10^th

In the event that the minimum attendance for a visit has not been reached, we reserve the right to cancel the visit.

Grenoble is one of the largest research centers in France, especially in physics and engineering, and is a leading pole in cryogenics and applied superconductivity. The community benefits from the presence of several large-scale facilities such as Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) or the French National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (LNCMI).

Visits to Grenoble are free of charge.

Laue-Langevin (ILL)

One of the most intense neutron sources in the world. The visit includes a general introduction, a tour of the guide halls, the reactor and its "pool".

Program of the afternoon
13:30 - 15:00   Departures from Lyon Convention Center to Grenoble by Bus
15:00 - 17:30   Guided tour of ILL
18:00 - 19:30   Return to Lyon Convention Center

Information & documents needed for this visit: each must present an ID and fill in advance their full name, nationality, date and place of birth.

The Institut Laue-Langevin is an international research center that operates one of the most intense neutron sources in the world. Every year, some 1500 researchers from over 40 countries conduct more than 800 experiments on fundamental science in a variety of fields: condensed matter physics, chemistry, biology, nuclear physics and materials science, etc.

L’Institut NEEL (http://www.neel.cnrs.fr/?lang=en) is a laboratory for fundamental research in condensed matter physics, enriched by interdisciplinary activities at the interfaces with chemistry, engineering and biology; it has exceptional expertise in advanced technology.

The Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses (http://lncmi.cnrs.fr/?lang=en) (LNCMI, for the French National High Magnetic Field Laboratory) is one of the few large facilities in the world for experiments in high magnetic fields up to 36 T at its Grenoble site, from fundamental to applied physics.

The Grenoble Electrical Engineering Laboratory (http://www.g2elab.grenoble-inp.fr/) (G2Elab) covers the whole spectrum of the electrical engineering science, from materials to systems, from processes to actuators, from micro systems to large power systems.
