How to get to the Université Saint-Louis - Brussels?
The conference will take place in the Ommegang building of the Université Saint-Louis Brussels, at 6 rue de l'Ommegang.
Ideally located in the city centre, the Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles is surrounded by several train stations and is halfway between Botanique and Rogier, two stations with excellent public transport connections (metro, tram, bus). In addition, there is no shortage of Villo stations (bicycle rental) in this very lively district.
For instance, the Gare Centrale is less than 20 minutes' walk from Saint-Louis, the Gare du Nord is 10 minutes' walk away, the Gare du Congrès is a few steps away and the University is on the same metro line as the Gare du Midi.
