| Speech Title | Lifestyle and health: the modern challenge for engineering |
| Abstract | Enormous progress in means of transportation, the elaboration of new tools, new machines, has resulted in a dramatic decrease in physical activity leading to very serious health consequences. This is in contrast with the progress made in trying to diminish pollution and other environmental damages, resulting in an improvement in health. The challenge for future engineering is therefore: how to positively combine these two aspects. |
