69th CIRP General Assembly in Birmingham

August 31st, 2019

Last week, I attended my first CIRP General Assembly in Birmingham, UK.

It was this opportunity to meet colleagues working in the cutting field, and progressing on current and future research projects. I also met Belgian colleagues from KULeuven that supported me at CIRP.


An outstanding performance has been given at the opening event by 88 pianists on the 19th August 2019. 88 pianists have set an unbreakable world record by playing together the same piano.

So many mechanisms... Wonderful for a Mechanical Engineer and so many small "machine design" projects!

The performance was featured on many media from several countries such as BBC or Musiq3-RTBF.
