On 8 March in celebration of Women’s day our regional WIA Leiden group invited our members and contacts to raise a toast. The gathering took place at the European Space Research and Technology Centre in Noordwijk for lunch. The picture above was taken at the beginning of the event. Later, however, even more members joined. In total there were 21 participants coming from different organisations like ESA, HE Space, Dutch Space, Booz & Company, ETS, SERCO and IAASS.

The atmosphere was great and the attendees mentioned that they would like to have a lunch meeting more often, hence we might organize more of these sorts of events in the future.
