Updates with Schedule for Re-Wind Team Meeting in Queen's University Belfast 24 - 25 May 2022
Rewind final event – 24th and 25th May 2022 at Queens University Belfast
Dear colleagues
On behalf of the US Ireland Rewind team, I am pleased to announce the dates of our final Rewind event which is scheduled for the 24th and 25th in the Queen’s University, Belfast. This will be an important moment to take stock together, assess overall progress and agree actionable insights from our work. We have a varied programme planned throughout the two days, including a local site visit to our bridge building construction site and briefings from our partners - as well as opportunities to mix informally including a reception and Gala dinner in the Europa Hotel on the evening of the 24th May. Please confirm your attendance to this event and the Gala dinner no later than Monday 16th May 2022. Please send responses to j.mckinley@qub.ac.uk. Unfortunately, we cannot fund travel or accommodation for this event. We look forward to seeing you in Belfast on the 24th May
Warm regards
Professor Jenny McKinley (on behalf of the Re-Wind team)
