Invitation for Press Conference on ground-breaking results from IceCube experiment

In view of a recent breakthrough in multimessenger astrophysics, led by
the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the South Pole, the American
National Science Foundation (NSF) will organize a press conference at
its headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia, on Thursday July 12th 2018
at 11:00h a.m. EDT (17:00h Brussels time).

Since scientists of the Inter-university Institute for High Energies, IIHE(ULB-VUB),
in Brussels are involved in this research, a presentation on IceCube and its research
and a live streaming of the press conference will be organized at the university campus
Etterbeek of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB).

We cordially invite you to attend the event at the VUB. Feel free to share this information with those who might be interested to
join the event in Brussels.
