picturesque 13th century houses. Some of the meeting rooms are located
in the House of Chihvres, another nearby historic building. The venue
is a 30 minute train journey from Brussels or a 15 minute car drive
from Brussels airport or the City of Brussels.
CONFERENCE FEES
The conference registration fees include: the camera ready conference
proceedings (Civil-Comp Press), morning coffee, lunch and afternoon
tea for all three days of the conference. The conference dinner on the
evening of Thursday 7th September 2000 is also included in the
fee. The author/student fee is 380 UK Pounds and the delegate fee is
