Engineers breakfast to feature leading sustainability professor
Scientia Professor Veena Sahajwalla, Director of the UNSW Centre for Sustainable Materials and Research and Technology (SMaRT), will next week present her keynote at a breakfast event, revealing how it is possible to take a good idea in the research phase and turn it into a strong commercial reality.
Professor Sahajwalla has been invited by Engineering Education Australia and Engineers Australia Sydney Division to deliver ‘Green Materials and Recycling End-of-Life Polymers in Steelmaking’ as part of Australian Engineering Week 2013.
Professor Sahajwalla is a highly sought-after speaker in the field of sustainability, having in recent months won The Australian Innovation Challenge and the environmental category of the InStyle and Audi Women of Style Awards. Last year she became one of only six Climate Commissioners appointed by the federal government.
The breakfast event will be held on Thursday 8 August at the Museum of Contemporary Art from 7-8.30 am. Open to the general public, the cost is $35 for students and $45 for members and non-members to attend.
