How to get around in Leuven
To the workshops
The workshops will be held in the Department of Health and Technology of Katholieke Hogeschool Leuven, which is right behind Leuven's main hospital Gasthuisberg. Luckily, there is a designated bus stop called 'Gasthuisberg Campus' for students. Take bus 3 from platform 2 at Leuven station. It is the last stop of the bus, one stop after the main entrance to the hospital.
To the symposium
From Leuven station, the symposium can be reached on foot (approximately a 15 min walk) or by bus.
Recently, the center of Leuven has turned into a construction site. All the busses that go through the center are re-routed. Only bus n° 1 (direction of Heverlee boskant) and n° 2 (direction Heverlee campus) pass by the symposium venue in Naamsestraat. To get to the venue of the workshops, take bus n° 3 to Gasthuisberg campus and get off at the last stop.
