The workshop will be held at the Oceanographic Institute

The Institut Océanographique is an institution that was inaugurated in 1911 by Albert I Prince of Monaco. The Maison des Océans in Paris, inaugurated on the 23rd of January 1911 fulfilled an important void in Sciences teaching in France at the beginning of the 20th Century: the new discipline of oceanography, whose importance was only coming to light, and the Prince wished to become its "propagator".

The Paris Oceanographic Institute or Maison des Océans is located in an exceptional site, at the heart of the central Quartier Latin, near the Panthéon and the Jardins du Luxembourg. Sorbonne University’s architect, H.P. Nénot, was in charge of designing the plans of this building inspired by the Tuscan architecture.
