Free Materials and Tech Seminar : London

This was sent to me by Zoe Laughlin the 'Curator' of the Materials Library in London. I was excited she kept us in the loop after I asked some Materials library questions a month or so ago.

Dear All,

We present the third in the series seminars on New Materials and New Technologies, where we bring together scientists, engineers, anthropologists, architects, designers, writers, and artists to discuss the role of new materials in innovation and society.

For this session we will be focussing on New Technologies with presentations form:

Bill O’Neill -Director of the Centre for Industrial Photonics at Cambridge University,

Francesca Sangalli -Design Research and Strategy, Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design, Italy

Kathleen Richardson -Department of Social Anthropolgy, Cambridge University

The time and place is the Institute of Materials on the 22nd of September, 13:30-18:00.

More information can be read on the attached e-flyer and at this link: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/anthropology/conferences/newmaterialsnewtechnologies/

It costs nothing to attend but places are limited and must be booked through Maria Pritchard (UCL) at mltpritchard@googlemail.com
