Fringe Activity - Between Times & Supporting Programme

Between times...there is plenty to whet your interest.

– Tête à tête
There will be ample opportunities for encounters with congress speakers or fellow guests. We will place two rooms at everyone’s disposal for face-to-face conversations in quiet, comfortable surroundings.

– There’s an app for that!
In the short interludes between sessions you can delve into the vibrant world of software applications for portable devices. Bruno Koninckx from the Memori Research Centre (which studies areas such as digital media, e-government, advertising copywriting and journalism) will demonstrate a selection of fascinating, useful and content-rich apps.

Supporting programme

1. Introduction evening
On the evening preceding the conference, Monday 5 Decembers, we and our hosts Vooruit will extend a welcome to all our foreign guests and speakers. It will be an informal opportunity to make acquaintance with your fellow attendees and drinks will be on the house.

The introduction evening is free of charge but you must subscribe in advance.

2. International chat café
Belgian beers, a delicious buffet, an international crowd and distinctive surroundings – these are the ingredients for our second evening. We will descend on Huis van Alijn to review our first day of the conference in the convivial context of the museum restaurant. It will be an excellent opportunity to discuss and exchange ideas about new and innovative projects relating to the conference theme with guests from other countries. There will be guest tables for our British, Dutch, Spanish and Scandinavian participants, but everyone is expected to circulate.

The buffet costs 22 euros per person. Advance subscription is essential.
