Below you can find a number of practical issues related to the ECPR Joint Sessions 2012.

During the entire conference, an information booth will be permanently available. Here you can ask / find / ... answers to all your questions.

You can find this information booth in the main lobby of the E building.

For your convenience, the Student Restaurant of the City Campus will open its doors throughout the entire ECPR Joint Sessions period. A special formula has been worked out: for the very democratic price of € 9,50 you get

• soup or salad bar
• choice out of three main courses (course of the day, veggie or pasta)
• a dessert
• a beverage

You can reserve your lunch tickets online beforehand, and pay for them (cash) when you go to the registration booth to pick up your conference badge. Off course you can also purchase lunch tickets during the Joint Sessions, but reserving them online makes things easier for the catering services!

The main advantages of taking your lunch in the student restaurant is: good quality food for a low price, very central location of the restaurant itself (a 2 minute walk from the main conference buildings), fast service, ... .

Off course you are free to explore what other options the City Campus has to offer in terms of food: there are quite a number of small sandwich bars, small restaurants, ...but as it is Easter Holidays, some of them might be closed.

If you wish to have  a Workshop dinner with your participants, the local organisers can try to arrange reservations for you. 

All coffee breaks will be held at the E-building, the main conference location, near the bookstands.

For those workshops that are taking place in the R building, this means you'll just have to cross the street.

Coffee / tea is free of charge.

After registration, you will get info on how to access the wireless network of the University of Antwerp in your information package.

Also, you can use the computers in the Agora café in the E building.

Wireless access is provided in all workshop locations and central areas.

In case you are taking your kids to Antwerp for the Joint Sessions and you are in need of child daycare facilities, please contact us beforehand. We can make the necessary arrangements if the situation requires this.

Also, if you are looking for family-friendly accomodation, please contact the local organizers committee.
