Directions to the lecture rooms

Note that we are in different lecture rooms on Thursday, February 29, and Friday, March 1. See the campus map for the location of the Sanders and Van der Goot buildings on Campus.

Thursday, February 29 (Sanders Building, room 0.03): After entering the building, turn left and walk along the hallway. Room 0.03 is located at the end of the hallway on the left hand side.

Friday, March 1 (Van der Goot Building, room M1-19): After entering the building, take the stairs on the right hand side of the entrance to walk up to the first floor. From there, the different lecture rooms are indicated with signs, so all you need to do is follow the signs to room M1-19. (If you took the stairs on the left hand side of the entrance, just turn around and walk to the other side of the building.)

Directions to the restaurant

For getting to the conference dinner by public transport, there are two options:

  • Walk to the metro station Kralingse Zoom (about a 10 minute walk from campus), and take metro line A, B, or C to station Eendrachtsplein. From there, it's just a short walk to the Belgisch Biercafe Boudewijn.
  • Take tram number 7 (direction Willemsplein) from the stop Erasmus Universiteit to the stop Eendrachtsplein. This option involves less walking since the tram stop is right at the campus, but it should take slightly longer overall.
