Exchange with your METREX colleagues on issues ranging from health to connectivity to productivity.
With European and global affairs changing evermore rapidly, we believe it is critical for our Members to exchange more regularly on solutions to short and longer-term challenges – including of course Covid-19.
We therefore invite Members to actively participate in a new series of online meetings for the network. We aim to hold one event each month, framed by an issue or subject that is important to Members.
We also invite you to come forward with suggestions of topics, or to volunteer to speak about a subject or project that you would like to share with the rest of the network. Please contact Stephen Gallagher on stephen.gallagher@eurometrex.org.
