AM-Platform informal meeting November 27th at Euromold 2014 Frankfurt

Dear AM Platform member,

Many meetings and events are planned the last months of the year: Euromold, Brookerages, national events, ...
Based on this we decided that it would be too busy to organize a full day AM-Platform meeting as we are used to. It is shifted to Spring – Jan – Feb 2015 (details to follow).
However, we want to provide an opportunity to meet with you and discuss new H2020 project ideas, recent developments and trends in AM and beyond.

On behalf of the AM-Platform management board, I kindly invite you to attend the informal AM-Platform meeting which will be held at Euromold in Frankfurt.
We will meet for a chat, drink and snack on Thursday November 27th from 15.00 on at the TNO booth in Hall 11 Stand 132 on Euromold 2014 Frankfurt.

We look forward to meeting you there and exchange latest ideas and news & achievements!

With kind regards on behalf of the AM-Platform,

Frits Feenstra
Coordinator

NB: for organizational purposes, we would appreciate a note on your attendance and possibly dietary needs!
