The venue: Belval campus

Belval campus is the University of Luxembourg’s main site. Located in the south-west of Luxembourg, close to Esch-sur-Alzette, the country’s second-largest city, Belval combines research and teaching with urban life and leisure activities. Once home to Luxembourg’s largest steelworks, the site now features research and learning facilities, the University Library and Learning Centre, as well as student accommodation. The campus is situated at the heart of a vibrant urban district and benefits from excellent public transport connections.
The Staff Mobility for Training will take place at the Maison des Sciences Humaines on Belval campus, home to the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences.
