3. Photonics institute visit

We will visit the FOTON Institute in Rennes on Friday, June 14, 2024 14:00-16:00 CEST.
This institute, part of the INSA Rennes campus, is a laboratory focusing on the development of materials, quantum nanostructures, and devices needed to develop applications as quantum communications, optical communications or fibre sensing technologies. The tour, organised with the help of the French NREN RENATER, is free and open to all TNC24 participants, but requires registration until Monday, June 10, 2024: https://events.geant.org/event/1673/

The FOTON Institute is located inside the INSA Rennes campus. You cannot enter the building of INSA without having an access card. We will enter together with our hosts, so please wait at the reception of INSA Rennes (Building 1).  To be respectful to our hosts and the other participants please arrive 10 minutes early so that we can ensure that we start on time (and that you will not be left outside until someone comes to collect you).  Once the tour starts we may not be able to quickly get back to the door.

We will meet at 2 pm at the reception of INSA Rennes (Building 1) :
https://www.insa-rennes.fr/contact-location.html
Please note that the metro line B is not working these days, so you will need to take the bus (bus line C4) to come to the INSA from the city center.
