you choose the right direction Alle richtingen (All directions ), which is the traffic lane that goes downward, at the right side of the bridge (from now on, the route is indicated by the arrows on the map), - you drive down that traffic lane and then you should change to the
leftmost lane before the traffic-lights, where at your left side, cars are
coming out of a tunnel,
- you turn off left and you join the left lanes. Now you are on
the Sint-Lievenslaan,
- at the second traffic-lights ( the first ones are flickering
lights ), you turn off right into the Overpoortstraat. A hundred metres
further, you will pass by the Sint-Pietersplein, a large square,
- then you continue in the same direction you were driving before,
into the Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat,
- after approximately 200 metres you will see at your right side a
parking with some trees and a building at the back side of the parking.
This is the desired location,
- if you came by car, you can ask the porter to call Wim Van Paepegem (inside line 4207) and we will guide you to the university car park. Otherwise, you can immediately enter the building at the rightmost entrance (Blok A) and go two levels down. There you can register at the secretary desk of our research group.
