>From in front of the central train station drive west along
Spoorlaan/Hart van Brabantlaan/Prof. Cobbenhagenlaan. Turn right at

The station Tilburg-West is situated within 5 minutes walking distance
south of the conference site. Travellers by local train (from the
directions Eindhoven, Breda and 's-Hertogenbosch) can get off the

Tilburg and from there can get to the Bestuursacademie by bus or taxi.
They also can change to a local train in the direction of Tilburg-West.
