Venue
The symposium will be held at the Lamot Congress and heritage center. Lamot is a unique conference centre situated at the waterside, in the historic centre of Mechelen, Belgium. The former brewery, where up until the eighties the legendary Lamot beer was produced, today is one of the most daring feats of contemporary architecture right in the heart of Mechelen.
How to get to the venue
By bus and/or on foot from the train station
The Lamot Congress center is only a short walk (1.2km, 15 min.) away of the train station.
Exit the station at the front side. Cross the roundabout and follow the main road (N1). Cross the ring road (R12) and follow the ‘Kardinaal Mercierplein’. Follow this road (it’ll change names to Graaf van Egmontstraat and subsequently, Vijfhoek). Before you cross the water (Dijle), go down the stairs on your right, to follow the Dijlepad. Follow this path al the way to Lamot.
You can also take bus n°1 from the station to Lamot. There’s a bus each 10 minutes and the ride will take 8 minutes. Get off the bus at ‘Mechelen Korenmarkt’.
