Reaching the conference venue

The conference is held at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), on its campus 'Oefenplein' Etterbeek. The Campus is located southeast of the city centre. Please note that this campus houses both the Dutch-speaking Vrije Universiteit Brussel (where ESUG is) and the French-speaking Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB).

There is plenty of space to park your car at the conference venue. However, if you are checking in into your hotel first, we advise you to leave the car and take the metro to come to the conference venue. mapVUBsituering

Reaching the venue by metro

Take a metro on line 1A with direction Herrman-Debroux. Note that in the centre both line 1a and 1b use the same rails. Thus make sure to get on a metro that uses line 1a! Get off at �Petillon�. From there on walk to the University.
