 tps://mcgill.ca/x/5Af\n\nThis seminar will explore the often challenging r
 elationship between modern industrial systems and the living world. Indust
 ry produces much of what improves our quality of life\, yet at the same ti
 me it can undermine the very ecological foundations that make life possibl
 e (and at an industrial scale). We will begin by looking at what industry 
 is currently doing\, what it could do quickly and what it could do if we p
 rioritized our intelligence rather than budget constraints. We will then e
 xplore the transition that is already underway and imagine some different\
 , and hopeful\, futures.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\nProfessor Steve Evans - Un
 iversity of Cambridge\n\nProfessor Steve Evans is a leading researcher in 
 sustainable manufacturing whose career spans industry\, academia\, and nat
 ional policy. After engineering roles at Marconi\, Plessey\, and Martin‑Ba
 ker\, he joined Cranfield University in 1988\, where he advanced early UK 
 research in eco‑design\, WEEE take‑back logistics\, sustainable business m
 odels\, and multidisciplinary engineering. He became the UK’s first Profes
 sor of Life Cycle Engineering in 1998 and later moved to the University of
  Cambridge\, where he established the national Centre for Industrial Susta
 inability. Evans works closely with companies to improve manufacturing per
 formance and has contributed to major policy efforts through advisory role
 s with Parliament\, government foresight groups\, and industry panels\, wh
 ile also co‑founding several cleantech start‑ups based on his research.\n
