Lecture:
If we want a more sustainable world, we have to understand the massive economic flows of our societies, what we consume, where it comes from, how we manage it and where it goes. Mechanical Engineering contributes, in its many facets, to doing more with less, let’s see how?
Paulo Ferrão is a Full Professor at Instituto Superior Técnico – Universidade de Lisboa and President of IN+, Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research.
