Location

These GAP Days will take place in Brussels (Belgium), at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel.

Address

The meeting takes place in the Department of Mathematics and Data Science, which is located in Building G, sixth floor, on the Main Campus of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel:

Pleinlaan 2
B--1050 Brussel
Belgium

The closest international airport is Brussels Airport. From there, there are several trains directly to one of the Brussels' stations. One of the train stations in the Brussels' region is Etterbeek, which is located almost next to the main campus of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. During week days, there are two direct trains per hour from Brussels Airport to Etterbeek (IC to Namur/Dinant and S19 to Brussel-Schuman/Charleroi Central). During the weekend, there is only the S19 service (now heading to Nijvel/Nivelles). However, there are 4-6 trains per hour from Brussels Airport to the train station Brussel Noord, where you can change on a train to Etterbeek.

More infomration can be found on how to reach the main campus of VUB.

Accommodation

The campus of VUB is located in a lively area of the Brussels' region. There are plenty of airbnb options. Hotel Access Brussels Delta Aparthotel is located very close to the campus. They offer a variety of rooms and studios that can be booked through a VUB corporate rate.
