The ICO international spring school will be held in Blankenberge, Belgium at the North Sea coast. It is not too difficult to reach by public transport (see Route)

Blankenberge (Belgium)

Blankenberge has more to offer than nice beaches. In earlier times Blankenberge was nothing more than a small fishermen village at the coast. Because of its rather strategic position, the little village was often plundered and destroyed. Also the sea sometimes proved to be not only a source of income, but also a source of destruction through flooding. It was in the 19th century that  the small town became one of the first Belgian seaside-resorts visited by tourist.

The Duinse Polders

The Duinse Polders is a spacious and cozy family complex. The location is stunning, the beach, dunes and the sea are nearby (100 m). The modern conference hall can accommodate 450 people, but there are also smaller meeting rooms with capacity up to 50 or even 150 persons.

By registering, you automatically reserve a room for the duration of the event.
