Venue

Getting to the conference
The conference will take place in the Cube building  at Tilburg University, conveniently located within walking distance from the Tilburg University train station (and 3km from Tilburg's main train station.)

Visiting Tilburg University is convenient via public transport, though it’s advised to avoid taxis due to street closures from a city center fair.

  • By Train: The "Tilburg Universiteit" train station is directly adjacent to the campus, making it a convenient option.
  • By Bus: There are two bus stops near campus:
    • "Station Universiteit" accessible via Bus 3 to Reeshof Koolhoven from the central station.
    • "Universiteit van Tilburg" served by Bus 2 to Reeshof NW, Bus 4 to Reeshof ZW, and Bus 131 to Rijen from the central station.
  • Walking or Biking: For those preferring to walk or bike, it’s about 3km from Tilburg central station. Exit the station at the South exit, turn right onto Spoorlaan, and continue straight along Spoorlaan, through Hart van Brabantlaan and Professor Cobbenhagenlaan until you reach Hogeschoollaan. For detailed directions, please refer to this map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fLv56hATyCNbSkd39 

 
Lodging
If you plan to attend, it may be good to start thinking about lodging now.  Tilburg city center is busy on the conference dates due to the big Tilburg Kermis fair (https://www.kermistilburg.nl/), so booking accommodation in advance is strongly recommended.

Here are some possible places:  
 
Of course, there are also other hotels as well as many Airbnb options available.

Note traveling from Rotterdam to Tilburg (by train) may be an option for those who plan to stay in Rotterdam for CogSci (https://cognitivesciencesociety.org/cogsci-2024/ ) anyway. Here are travel directions: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fqReggibqWRNWkhm9

Traveling in the Netherlands
- We recommend buying an "Anonymous OV-chipkaart" to travel (see how it works here). These cards can be bought at the airport, large train stations and other places.
