Where does the conference take place ?

The conference will take place in the "Studio 13" auditorium, at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCL), in Louvain-la-Neuve. Here is how to reach it:

  • By plane. There are two airports near Louvain-la-Neuve: Brussels Airport (Zaventem) and Brussels South (Charleroi). From Brussels Airport, you can reach Louvain-la-Neuve either by taxi (it should cost about 50€ for a one-way), or by train (in that case, you can take a train to the Bruxelles Nord station and then further refer yourself to the next point). From Brussels South, taxi is about the only efficient way of reaching Louvain-la-Neuve (it should cost about 70€ for a one-way).
  • By train from Brussels. From the Bruxelles Midi (high speed train station), Central, Nord, Luxembourd or Shuman stations, take the train to "Louvain-la-Neuve Université" or the train to Liers, and stop in "Ottignies". In Ottignies, take another train to "Louvain-la-Neuve Université".  It should cost at most 10€ for a one-way.
  • By foot, from the Louvain-la-Neuve station.  Louvain-la-Neuve is a pedestrian city. To arrive at the Studio 13 auditorium from the station, first join the "Place de l'Univeristé" which is next. On the square, you can find a fountain from which starts the "Grand Rue": follow it until you reach a covered passage (from which sometimes emanates a delicate aroma of hot waffle). At the exit of this passage, you will find a wooden spiral staircase: Studio auditoria are at the top of these stairs.


If necessary, here is a complete map of Louvain-la-Neuve.
  • By car. Free parking is available outside the town but the easiest way is usually to use underground parkings refered on the map, like the Grand-Place, the Grand-Rue or the Charlemagne parkings.
  • shuttle will be provided to reach the conference from the Léonardo hotel, in Wavre.
