Pre-VIS Day 2023
October 16, 2023 (and half-day October 17 for those interested)
We would like to welcome you for a day of talks and discussions prior to IEEE VIS 2023. The idea of the event is to provide an opportunity for researchers to present their IEEE VIS 2023 (or associated event & TVCG) papers and discuss them in a smaller circle. Additionally, it provides an excellent opportunity for younger researchers to get a taste of the quality of work presented at VIS and network with other peers, as well as senior researchers. Therefore, everyone from students to professors interested in VIS is welcome.
Registration
We need to plan food and a paper program. Therefore, please register using this form: registration form link
Venue
We are located on the Plateau de Saclay. The event will take place in our office building. Its address is:
Bât 660 Claude Shannon
Rue René Thom
91190 Gif-sur-Yvette
France
You can find all the information to reach our building in our Contact webpage. Most ways to come to our building rely on the RER (train) line B, which parisians call RER B. Please, pay attention to the type of train tickets you buy, as some tickets are for specific areas, e.g., Paris only with the T+ tickets. In doubt, on the selling machines, always state to which station you want to reach (e.g., Massy Palaiseau RER or Le Guichet).
Our building is in a construction area so the routes change frequently. We recommend you download our instructions or use a map such as CityMapper. If it's your first time in France and you would like some help to get here, contact one of the organizers listed below. We will find a way to accompany you. Do not hesitate to ask. Plan 90 minutes to get from Paris city center to our building without stress.
Accommodation
We will start around 10am on the 16th so that some people can arrive the morning of the event if they wish to. For others, there are two hotels in close proximity to our lab:
- Residhome Bures Sur Yvette, La Guyonnerie. This hotel is walkable from the RER stop Bures Sur Yvette. It requires a hike up the hill through the forest in the moning. There is a nice new walking path available (here is a walking map).
- The Campanile Paris Saclay. This hotel is right across from our lab. It might be harder to get to late in the evening. Be sure to check the bus schedule. You get here the same way you would use to get to our lab.
- Paris of course has a huge variety of hotels. For convenience, we recommend to book along the RER B line.
- Another convenient location is Massy, which is a city along the RER. From there you can reach our lab by bus.
Lunch
We will provide a simple lunch for everyone who registered before the lunch-order deadline. If you registered too late or are joining spontaneously, please grab a sandwich from the cafe or Bakery nearby (we prefer the bakery)

How to get to the restaurant "Le Gramophone"
From our lab, the easiest way to go to "Le Gramophone" is via the Bus line 9.
- First, join by foot the "Moulon" bus station
- Then, take the Bus line 9 direction "Centre Commercial Ulis 2"
- Stop at the bus station "Mairie d'Orsay"
- Walk to the restaurant Le Gramophone
To come back to the lab, just take the same bus but in the other direction. The valid directions are "Gare de Jouy-en-Josas RER C", "Christ de Saclay", and "Campus HEC." The last bus, to come back, is around 11pm.
A second alternative, depending on your hotel, is to take the Bus line 7 to the RER train station "Gare d'Orsay"
- First, join by foot the Université Paris Saclay or Lieu de Vie bus station, depending from where you are leaving.
- Then, take the bus line 7 direction "Gare d'Orsay - L'Yvette"
- Stop at the terminus "Gare d'Orsay - L'Yvette"
- Walk to the restaurant Le Gramophone
This bus line stops, however, too early to be able to come back with it. We strongly encourage you to take the bus line 9 to come back.
You can buy a ticket on the bus for 2.50€
