Hi All! Maxime Van Cauter (Science & Technology Counsellor for the office of Wallonia-Brussels International in the U.S.) arrived in Boston for a couple of days and we are holding an impromptu drink at Cambridge Common (between Harvard and Porter Square). We are gathering around 7pm. They serve food as well. Let me know if you think about coming in case I can give the place a heads up for a reservation although they are usually flexible, so last minute drop in should work fine. Looking forward to seeing you there! TLDR; Tuesday, 7pm, Cambridge Common, drinks
