Overview
Abstracts are requested for contributed talks during the scientific days! Submit via the form below when registering.
Note on reimbursement
The paper work for the COST contract is finally finished. You should have received an invitation email with instructions. If not please contact the COST organizers (not the conference ones, they have no access to eCOST). The general rule is: all MC members are expected to participate in the meeting and therefore will be reimbursed according to COST rules. This normally covers all travel and accommodation costs. The same applies for invited speakers. Further participants can be reimbursed if the budget allows.
Location/Venue
The two airports in Brussels Zaventem (code BRU) and Charleroi (CRL also called Brussels South) are convenient for LLN. The easiest way to reach Louvain la Neuve is by train from either airport. IMPORTANT! We have 2 cities called Louvain: Leuven in the Dutch speaking region and Louvain-la-Neuve (= the new) in the French speaking region. If you are not careful you may end up with a train ticket to Leuven. It is very pretty to visit, but you will be late for the meeting.
Accomodation is organized in the IBIS STYLES hotel just outside campus. You should secure your own reservation using this Word/docx form below, faxed or emailed to This email address is being protected from spambots.
