DAVID SLATER SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PROFESSORSHIP AT UMIST

Dr David Slater, a Director of Cambrensis, has been appointed a Visiting Professor of Engineering Design for Sustainable Development at UMIST (University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology).

He will be considering how engineering principles can be applied to design products and systems that meet the needs of a sustainable way of life. The new Appointment is funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering. The RAE scheme allows a number of professors in UK universities to contribute to the development of teaching material on sustainable development.

The Department of Chemical Engineering at UMIST comments –

“The appointment of David as Visiting Professor is a very natural complement to the activities of the Environmental Technology Centre. Professor Slater will be working closely with Professor Richard Griffiths, Director of the Environmental Technology Centre, and Professor Paul Sharratt, whose interests focus strongly on issues of sustainability.”.
