Practical Information

BELVAL CAMPUS

The Venue

Belval - the city of science

Belval in the south of Luxembourg has become the new City of Science. What was once the site of Luxembourg’s biggest
ironworks, is now one of the most ambitious urban development projects in Europe that uniquely integrates parts of the former industrial site in the new concept. The construction began in 2004 and is still in progress. Belval offers a unique mix of places to work, study and enjoy life created on a site equal in size to 120 football pitches. It will provide housing for up to 7,000 people of all generations and at the same time, up to 25,000 people will be able to work, research and study there. It now hosts most institutions active in the field of research, development and innovation in Luxembourg such as the University of Luxembourg.

The 4th CIAPSE Congress will be held in the Maison du Savoir (MSA, 3rd and 4th floor) on Belval Campus. The MSA is #1 on the Belval Campus map (PDF).

Public Transport

Since 2020, all forms of public transport, including buses, trains and the brand-new tram, are free throughout Luxembourg.

Getting to Luxembourg

Luxembourg Airport is well connected to many European and international cities. Check out the list of airlines and destinations for more information.

Getting around in Luxembourg

Luxembourg has an excellent public transport network, and most importantly: all forms of public transport are free throughout the entire country!

You can conveniently plan your trip by using the website of the Luxembourgish transport association Mobilitéitszentral.

From Luxembourg airport to the City and the Central Station

  • Two bus lines (6 and 16) take you to the city centre every 10 to 15 minutes. The bus stop is located in front of the terminal. Lines 29 and 223 will bring you to the Luxembourg Central Train Station (travel time: approx. 25-30 minutes).
  • Taxis are very expensive in Luxembourg. Plan to spend about 40.- EUR for a ride to Luxembourg Central Station (15-minute drive).
