Your life is manufactured: Revealing the secrets of how things get made and delivered to you

1:30pm-2:30pm on Saturday 16 March

Times shown are in GMT (UTC +0) up to the 26th March. For events on or after 27th March times are in BST (UTC +1).

Institute for Manufacturing, 17 Charles Babbage Road, CB3 0FS

We all live in a manufactured world. Everything around us other than people, plants, rocks and animals has been made by someone and delivered to where it is needed. And yet the processes by which these manufactured things appear in our lives are largely invisible.

In this talk, Tim Minshall (Dr John C Taylor Professor of Innovation and Head of the Institute for Manufacturing) will make that largely invisible world visible. He will also discuss why – if we want to have a more sustainable and equitable world – we need to rethink what we make, and how and where we make it.
