The team is hosted in the Polytech' Nice "Templiers 1" building (930 route des Colles, Sophia Antipolis). This is **not** located in the main I3S buildings but nearby. See the map below for details. The Polytech'Nice building ([3] on map) is next to I3S and INRIA. Also note that there are two Polytech'Nice buildings 200 meters apart. We are located in the "Les Templiers" site building, **not** in the "Lucioles" site building.
