ANT 2023 will be held in Leuven, Belgium. Leuven is the capital of the
province of Flemish Brabant in Belgium. It is located about 25
kilometres (16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the 10th largest
municipality in Belgium and the fourth in Flanders. Leuven is home to
the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the largest and oldest university
of the Low Countries and the oldest Catholic university still in
existence. The related university hospital of UZ Leuven, is one of the
largest hospitals of Europe. The city is also known for being the
headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewer and
one of the five largest consumer-goods companies in the world.

Leuven's Town Hall is one of the best-known Gothic town halls
worldwide and Leuven's pride and joy. It took three architects and
thirty years to build it. Leuven's 'Hall of Fame' features 236
statues, which were only added to the faÃ§ade after 1850. There are
220 men and 16 women in total. On the bottom floor are famous Leuven
scientists, artists and historical figures, dressed in Burgundian
garb. The first floor is reserved for the patron saints of the various
parishes of Leuven. Above them the faÃ§ade is adorned by the counts
and dukes of Brabant while the towers primarily feature biblical
figures.

ANT 2023 will be held in conjunction with the 6th International
Conference on Emerging Data and Industry (EDI40).
