The conference will be held at Université libre de Bruxelles in Brussels. Located at the heart of the European Union, the ULB is open to the world. It is involved in the realisation of a multicultural Europe, contributing to spreading its humanist and democratic values. Founded on the principle of free-thinking (libre examen), a principle based on independent judgment and the rejection of all dogma, the ULB has remained true to its original ideals: to be an institution free from all supervision, committed to the defence of democratic and humanistic values.
