| IABSE Fellows and Young Engineers lunch in Nantes
Like every year, IABSE Fellows met our Young Engineers over lunch to share knowledge, to inspire each other and to interact. Where else do you get this opportunity – where young structural engineers, fresh out of their college or just starting on their jobs get to meet and discuss any issues concerning their career, with those who are in leading positions in top structural engineering companies around the world.
