To the conference venue:
Minderbroedersberg, Maastricht city centre
A2/E25, from the north
Turn right at the first traffic lights in Maastricht to Viaductweg. At the first lights go straight ahead and follow the road by crossing the bridge. At the first (double set of) lights, veer to the left onto Statensingel. At the roundabout, take the second exit to Hertogsingel. At the next lights, turn left into Calvariestraat. Follow this road (there are two sharp bends to the left and to the right) until you reach the underground parking garage Vrijthof. You are now a few minutes’ walk from the conference venue.
A2/E25, from the south
Take the exit Europaplein in the direction of Tongeren. Go straight ahead to Prins Bisschopssingel (direction Tongeren). At the roundabout, take the second exit onto Hertogsingel. At the first lights, turn right into Calvariestraat. Follow this road (there are two sharp bends to the left and to the right) until you reach the underground parking garage Vrijthof. You are now a few minutes’ walk from the conference venue.

Parking space in the centre of Maastricht is limited. We would suggest to leave your car at the boundaries and continue to travel by public transport (busses 3, 4 and 9).
