One of our key ambitions as a conference centre is to continuously invest in providing first-class facilities for our visitors. By the end of 2020 we want to significantly build on the successes we have already accomplished so far.
As a result, a new work environment will be available from Fall 2019, with a second large conference room seating 100, a Seminar room seating 40 (both in the New Bridge-building between the Annexe and the Library), and new offices.
The reasons behind these projects stem directly from visitor feedback and from the increase we have seen in the number of proposals received for our programmes. We address the need for more accommodation and better technical resources. Other key factors address accessibility for all, and sustainability, such as improving energy efficiency.
While these projects focus on our long-term ambitions, we will be doing our best to minimise disruption for visitors visiting the centre in 2018 and 2019.
The main lecture Hall accommodates an audience of 95 and offers chalk boards as well as all audiovisual and computational equipment useful for conferences. Since 2013, an audiovisual booth has been added, so as to film some of the conferences and create an Audiovisual Mathematics Library.
Cirm's Videographer can be contacted in the AV studio.
Please note that many of the seminar rooms below are likely to be closed from November 2018 to March 2019 to allow for building works at Cirm to take place.
The ’Salle de la Chapelle': a building situated at the entrance of CIRM, opposite the ’Bastide’, which was a chapel for centuries, has been restored and transformed. It can accommodate meetings or seminars for up to 19 people.
The ’Salle du Billard’: this small building in the heart of the park can accommodate up to 19 people, and is perfect for research in pairs or seminars for small groups.
The 'Library room': part of the library has returned to what is was in the past: a seminar room that can sit up to 30 people, perfect for a workshop!
The above rooms are equipped with blackboards and/ or white boards and video projectors and wifi are available in all rooms.
Several areas of various sizes can also be found in the library to work as a pair, as a foursome etc.
The library is air-conditioned and also has numerous tables and chairs for individual research.
Many of our visitors enjoy spending some time working outside on one of the pic-nic tables with a (free) cup of tea or other drinks, surrounded by nature and silence! Experience Cirm your way!
