Visits of International Scientists

In July 2013, we received a one week visit by Professor Tomás de la Barra (University of Caracas and Modelistica) and by Dr. Brian Morton (University of North Carolina), the two leading experts of the TRANUS model (de la Barra developed the model). We organized a 3-day training course on the TRANUS model around these visits, with attendees from various labs in France and Belgium as well as an extended visit to the urban planning agency of the Grenoble region.
