Dear all, unfortunately, it will not be possible to have our next FRE in Norway as announced during this year’s event. Fortunately, Matteo Matteucci and his team from Politecnico Milano stepped in and agreed to host the FRE 2025. Many thanks for this at this point. The event will take place in the summer of 2025 near Milan. The exact location and date will be announced in good time via the mailing list and this website. So, get your team prepared and let’s have a wonderful FRE 2025 in Italy 😊. Kind Regards Stefan
