Agrinatura General Assembly 2025
Travel Disruption Notice – Monday, 20 May 2025
Please be advised that a strike has been announced for Monday, 20 May, which may affect public transport services across Belgium, including trains, trams, and buses.
Train Travel
While there may be a reduced train service, getting from Brussels to Ghent should still be possible. We recommend the following route:
Zaventem Airport → Brussels Midi → Gent Sint Pieters Station
You can check real-time updates and train availability here: Belgian Train Website
Local Transport in Ghent
Local trams and buses operated by De Lijn may also face disruptions. Real-time updates are available here: De Lijn Website
If local public transport proves difficult, taxis and Ubers from Gent Sint Pieters station to the city centre are a reliable and affordable alternative, typically costing €10–15.
We encourage you to plan your journey and allow extra time for travel on Monday.
We look forward to seeing you soon in Ghent for the General Assembly.
We are delighted to announce that the Agrinatura General Assembly 2025 and 4th Conference will take place from May 21 to 22 at the University of Ghent, Belgium. The event will be hosted at the Faculty of Bioscience Engineering.
