Leuven, Belgium is a relatively small city of about 100,000 inhabitants, and hosts the University of Leuven (KU Leuven), a nearly 600-year-old university where internationally acclaimed research, high-quality education and societal outreach meet. Leuven is a pleasant and safe city, and is very hospitable to international visitors due to the large numbers of international (under)graduate students enrolled at the university.
The Conference will take place in the Leuven Institute for Ireland in Europe, a 17th century college that has been redesigned into a modern multi-purpose residential conference centre, located in the heart of the university city Leuven. The keynotes and plenary sessions will be organized in the Auditorium, which is a modern multi-purpose conference space housed in a former 17th century chapel.
Demonstrations and (eventual) poster sessions will be organized in one or two of the four available conference rooms, which are bright and spacious rooms overlooking the institute’s beautiful gardens. Coffee breaks, lunches, and a welcome reception will be served in the ancient cloisters of the Institute, which provide a relaxing and pleasant setting with plenty of daylight.
Wireless internet access will be available in the conference venue. Meeting rooms can be made available on request. The Institute is fully accessible to wheelchair users and those with restricted mobility.
