FMV Industry Night KU Leuven

Flanders Metals Valley organizes its 3^rd KUL edition of the ‘Industry Night’ on the campus this year. College students studying at various departments of KU Leuven are invited to meet up with industry experts, discover what FMV is all about and learn from each other. Students and young-potentials are key to making this transition into a circular and carbon-neutral world happen. They are therefore invited to attend this event and get a deep dive into the magnificent world of metals.

Join us on Wednesday, November 27 at 18:00 in Auditorium 00.225 Erik Duval -Celestijnenlaan200A- Leuven (Heverlee). At 18:30, representatives from four top companies will take the stage. You’ll also learn about the Open Innovation Challenge for Young Talents organised by EIT Raw Materials.
