Travel Information

By public transport (recommended):

The symposium venue is in walking distance (10 minutes walk) from Brussels Central Station. Take a map of Brussels with you and walk to the Royal Palace. The Academy House is a smaller palace at the left of the Royal Palace.

Alternatively, you can take public transport from Brussels Central Station. Take metro line 1 (direction: Stockel/Stokkel) or metro line 5 (direction: Hermann-Debroux) to station Arts-Loi/Kunst-Wet. Continue on metro line 2 (direction: Koning Boudewijn/Roi Baudouin) or metro line 6 (direction: Simonis (Leopold II)) and get off at the first stop named "Trône/Troon". Cross the big road (Regentlaan/Boulevard du Régent) where you will find the Hertogsstraat/Rue Ducale. The entrance is 100m further on your right.

By car coming from Antwerp:

Take the E19 to Brussels. When approaching Brussels, take the exit "Namen/E411/Luik/E40/Brussel" and continue on the R0. Then take the exit "Luik/Leuven/Brussel" and continue on the E40 to Brussels. At the end of the E40, keep left and take the exit "Montgomery". Keep left when exiting the tunnel and continue for about 4 kilometers (the road changes name from Reyerlaan to Whitlocklaan, St.-Michielslaan, Louis Schmidtlaan and Generaal Jacqueslaan). At the fifth traffic lights, turn right into the Troonlaan and continue until the end. Cross the big road and drive into the Hertogsstraat. This is the address of the conference, but you need to go to the back of the building for parking your car. So turn again right at the Parc, again right to the Lambertmontlaan, and then take the first (small) street to the right (Regentlaan). The parking is at your right.
