The BIL-NIL Symposium 2011 (19 and 20 October 2011 in Antwerp) is rightly called a Welding Symposium. While in 2010 gluing was also a prominent theme in the presentations during the annual symposium in collaboration between NIL and BIL, this year's program appears to contain exclusively welding topics. A shame! Hopefully, at the next NIL-BIL Symposium in 2012, the topic of gluing will be included again.
