Kick-off meeting 2013

The kick-off meeting of the REFIMEVE+ project, (Mefinev + in English Metrological Fiber Network with European Vocation, took place on the 27th and 28th of May 2013 on the campus of the University Paris 13 in Villetaneuse.

 

 

It was intended primarily for project partners but also to all academic and industrial stakeholders to better understand the challenges of the transfer of time and frequency and its European ambitions in the fields of metrology and also in other areas of sciences.
