VENUE
The first IGCP 580 meeting will be held at Liège University Wednesday 2 and
Thursday 3 of December 2009 (plus a fieldtrip day on the Friday 4 and training on the
Saturday 5 December).
The city of Liège is situated in the valley of the river Meuse, near Belgium's eastern
borders with the Netherlands (35km from Maastricht) and Germany (60km from
Aachen), where the Meuse meets the Ourthe river. It is in the former "sillon
industriel", the industrial backbone of Wallonia.
The city is the principal economic and cultural centre of Wallonia and is well-known
for its very crowded folk festivals (mostly in summer) and is renowned for its
significant nightlife. Within the pedestrian zone, there is an area (100 m square called
"Le Carré") with many lively pubs which are reputed to remain open until the last
customer leaves (typically around 6 am). Another active area is the "Place du
Marché".
The "Batte" market is where most locals visit on Sundays. This outdoor market
stretches along the Meuse River and also attracts many visitors to Liège. The market
typically runs from early morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon every weekend, all year
long.
During winter, the weather can be really cold or humid but December is the period of
Christmas Market and Liege has a huge one which is famous for beer, peket (local
alcohol) and warm wine or warm chocolate.

Travel information
By Bus: http://www.infotec.be/ Bus going to the University is the 48. Bus ticket cost
1.3 euros. http://www.infotec.be/Files/TECLV/NetPlan/centreliege2006.pdf
You should stop at the bus stop “PHYSIQUE” on the Bus line No 48, it’s right in front
of the geological building. On line 58, get off at “CHIMIE” and the geological building
is 3 minutes walk from there (line 58 is not working at the weekend).
By Train: Belgium has a very well developed train network, all schedules and prices
on http://www.b-rail.be/main/index.html.
Main train station in Liège is Liège Guillemins (and you can take the bus 48 to
University from this station).
By Air:
- Brussels airport: http://www.brusselsairport.be/en/. From Brussel airport to Liege:
train to Brussels north or Leuven and then train to Liege
- Brussels South Airport: http://www.charleroi-airport.com/ From Charleroi Airport
(Brussels South): Shuttles to Brussels and then train to Liege
- Liege Airport: http://www.liegeairport.com/ From Liege Airport: buses to Liege
Guillemins but the easiest way is probably to take a taxi.
