Venue

The CHEOPS Science Team meeting#30 will take place in "Amphithéâtre Gastaut", at Aix-Marseille University Central, at the Pharo site. 

The Palais du Pharo is located at the entrance of the Vieux-Port, separating it from the open sea. It is one of  the best site to view the Old Port. Built in 1858 by Emperor Napoleon III for his wife, Empress Eugénie, who later gifted the palace to the city. For over 100 years, it was the only military institute in Europe specialized in tropical medicine. Since 2015, the two buildings at the entrance to the Emile Duclaux garden have housed the majority of the central services of the Aix-Marseille University directorates.
