CONFERENCE VENUE:
The conference will take place in the main building of HEC Liège, in the
heart of the City of Liège, Belgium's third largest city and the largest
agglomeration of the French-speaking Walloon region. Liège is home to the
third inland port of Europe and the eighth freight airport in Europe.
Recognized for its quality of life and its rich historical patrimonium,
Liège is ideally situated within the Meuse-Rhin Euregio, 40 kilometers
from Maastricht (the Netherlands) and 60 kilometers from Aachen (Germany).
It is less than 1.5 hours away from Köln, 2.5 hours from Paris, and 4
hours from London by high-speed train (TGV) starting from the new
magnificent train station designed by the renowned architect Santiago
Calatrava.
In the name of the organizing committee,
Yasemin ARDA & Yves CRAMA
