HEAVYMETAL V: Consortium Meeting Fall 2025

Aug 31, 2025, 7:00 AM → Sep 5, 2025, 5:30 PM Europe/Dublin

Roe Valley Resort

 

This is the fifth consortium meeting for HEAVYMETAL and a closed meeting for the consortium members. The meeting will be held in Northern Ireland northwest of Belfast in Limavady.

Getting there, there are 4 airports that might make sense to check up on. We are looking into a transfer from Belfast if the interest is there
