General Meeting Luxembourg (26-28 November 2025)


Meeting location

Our General Meeting will take place at Belval Campus of the University of Luxembourg | 2, place de l’Université | L-4365 Esch-sur-Alzette. The campus is located 30 minutes by train from Luxembourg City.

Belval Campus is the University of Luxembourg’s main site. Close to Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg’s second largest city, Belval combines research with teaching and urban life with leisure activities. Once home to Luxembourg’s largest steelworks, this site now features research and learning facilities, the University library and learning centre as well as student accommodation. The campus is located at the centre of an urban district and has excellent connection to public transportation.
