Conference preview

While we’re working on the full conference programme, you can take a look at the provisional times and events.

Throughout METM25, there’ll be off-METM activities to help you settle in, make new contacts and catch up with old colleagues.

METM25 registration will open in late May, with the first week reserved for members (see the fees page for more details). Sign-ups for off-METM activities will open a few weeks later.

For all queries, write to one of the METM25 organizers.
