Registration

How to reach the conference venue

• Direct trains from Zaventem airport to Mons are available every hour. You only have to be careful to look for trains directed to Bergen, which is the Dutch name of Mons; alternatively, you can reach the station Brussels Midi and take a train to Mons;
• Charleroi airport is connected to Mons by a shuttle bus (bus schedule);
• Trains from Brussels to Mons are running every half an hour, starting around h:25 and h:56 from Midi station (please crosscheck the train schedule!);
• The workshop will take place in the UMONS campus “Plaine de Nimy”, that can be reached from Mons train station in 20/25 minutes by walk (see the precise address below). A limited number of blue-bikes is also available at the train station;
• The talks will take place in the building De Vinci (map of the campus).

Accommodation
