Radisson Hotel Antwerpen Berchem
Witteveen+Bos knowledge-sharing & networking evening OVA/MER
Prepare a stronger environmental permit application, faster. Discover our programme for our knowledge-sharing & networking evening on December 3th in Antwerp.
A strong permit is not secured at the end of a project. It starts with solid preparation. Leave the thinking until the application stage, and you risk missing opportunities or running into avoidable delays.
During this practice-oriented seminar, you will discover how to build a smarter permit file, avoid common pitfalls and make better-substantiated decisions. Expect concrete cases, useful insights and direct advice from experts.
