To get to "Het Pand" from the train station Gent St-Pieters, take
trams 1, 10, 11, 12 or 13 in the direction
Korenmarkt. Get off on the Korenmarkt (you'll see the three towers of
Ghent). Cross
the bridge (St-Michielsbrug) over the river Leie, in the
direction of the St-Michielskerk. Turn left to walk around the
St-Michielskerk, onto a small square called St-Michielsplein,
and into a street called
Onderbergen. The conference centre "Het Pand" lies on your left
(Near parking place P7 on the
[ map of the historic centre of Ghent]).
This event is an initiative of the Dutch Intercity Number Theory Seminar
and the KUL-RUG Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry Seminar.
It is organized by the Department of Pure Mathematics and Computer Algebra,
Ghent University.
Please contact Jan van Geel
or me for more information
and for registration.
To taste the beauty of the city of Ghent already in advance, here
are some pictures of Gent and of "Het Pand".
