HEAVYMETAL V: Consortium Meeting Fall 2025

31 Aug 2025, 07:00 → 5 Sept 2025, 17:30 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
