In June, ASME opened its Brussels, Belgium office. With this new office, the Society intends to broaden its global outreach to engineers in Europe and surrounding markets.

ASME's Brussels office is now open for business.

The initial role of the ASME's first European office will be to assess the state of engineering practice in Europe, Africa and the Middle East and gauge the local technical community's interest in the products and services of ASME.

The Brussels office will promote dialogue with local engineers, corporations, educational institutions, and technical associations as well as administer programs and events. The focus of the outreach efforts will include government relations, continuing education, and technical codes and standards. Jeroen van Liempd will serve as director of operations.

ASME's new office is located in this building, 300 B-1150 Avenue de Tervueren in Brussels.

One important activity of the Brussels office is gain information from Europe's technical community. The staff of the office has begun to meet with engineers and their employers to gain an understanding of the needs and challenges facing Europe's engineering and technology community and also to assess the interests and needs of young practitioners.

Through data compiled by the office, ASME can determine potential new markets and customers for its array of technical products and services.
