Venue

The conference will be held in Het Kasteel.

This Neo-Gothic building with the tower of Foucault and its famous pendulum, the hall with the geometric patterns and the Escher ceiling, the stairwell with the stained-glass windows, the Gothic pointed arch windows and the richly decorated stairwells are an architectural attraction, a museum in their own right.

Social

In the late afternoon on Wednesday there will be a tour of (and up!) the Martinitoren, the 97-metre tower that still dominates the Groningen skyline. Afterwards the conference dinner will take place in 't Feithhuis, located in the very heart of the city centre.
