Venue

The course will take place in the Auditorium (third floor) of HOEK 38, Leuvenseweg 38, 1000 Brussel. The location is close to the touristic heart of Brussels.

Access by public transportation: The location is just 500m from the Brussel-Centraal - Bruxelles-Central railway station and hence easy to reach by train. Public transportation (bus, tram and metro) within Brussels is provided by the STIB-MIVB.

Airport information:

The closest airport is Brussels International Airport (BRU). One weekdays there are roughly 6 trains/hour between the airport and the Central station. You need to buy your ticket at the airport or at the Central Station for your return trip (or use the NMBS/SNCB app), and keep it with you at all times as the ticket is also needed to pass through the gates at the airport station.
Brussels South Charleroi Airport.(CRL) is not in Brussels as the name suggests, but 60km away from Brussels and is popular with budget airlines. There are shuttle busses to the Brussels South station (Bruxelles-Midi) from where regular public transportation should be used to get to the venue, or you can take the busto the Charleroi Sud station and from there to the Brussels Central station.
Schiphol Airport Amsterdam and Paris Charles de Gaulle airport are also options. From both airports there are frequent high speed trains to Brussels, and there is also a regular train between Schiphol Airport and Brussels that does not require advance reservation.

Hotel information: In general, the bigger hotel groups are safe bets in Brussels. The venue is not far from the tourist are which means that there are a lot of hotels within walking distance, but they tend to be rather pricey. If hotel pricing in Brussels is a problem, another option is one of the more budget-oriented hotels next to the railway station of Leuven. From there there is a good train connection to the Brussels Central Station, which would cost your 11.20 EURO for a return trip.
