Social events
Reception
The welcome reception will take place Monday evening in the historic town hall of Leuven. It was built between 1439 and 1469 and is regarded as one of the most beautiful gothic town halls in the world. After being welcomed by the Mayor of Leuven, Mohamed Ridouani, we will enjoy some Belgian beers and other drinks.
Conference dinner
The conference dinner will take place Tuesday evening at De Hoorn, the place where once-small brewery Stella Artois was located. We will be welcomed in the brewery hall and will walk between the copper brewing kettles with some drinks and a small bite. After the small reception, we will be heading to the machinery hall underneath the kettles where dinner will be served.
