Belval

Belval is a recent development in the south of Luxembourg, just next to the town Esch-sur-Alzette, which is transforming the area previously occupied by the steel industry into a new campus for the university while preserving parts of the industrial heritage.

The Terres Rouges building, where the conference will take place, is an easy to spot landmark just 5 minutes walk from the “Belval Gare” train station.

The Terres Rouges building in Belval is the venue for the Open Source Conference 2026


Conference areas

The venue provides the conference with a large auditorium and conference rooms for separate tracks and workshops.

The atrium of the building hosts booths for sponsors, local supporters and Open Source projects/communities providing opportunities for networking.

Tracks position

The main venue hosts the majority of the tracks in the main auditorium and in rooms on the first floor which is easily reachable by using the escalators in the atrium and the fifth floor reachable using the lifts next to the atrium.

Various tracks

By taking the escalator in the atrium you can access the tracks and workshop rooms at the first floor which include:

  • Digital Sovereignty, public sector and OSPO

Decentralisation tracks
