MIT's Prof. Neil Gerschenfeld and Fab Labs |
| Wednesday, 21 November 2007 | New Lisbon University-- Portuguese company YDreams has invited Professor Neil Gershenfeld, Director of MIT’s ( Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Center for Bits and Atoms to give a talk at the Faculty of Science and Technology, at the New Lisbon University, on the 27th of November at 14:30. The event is facilitated by the MIT Portugal Program, an international education and research collaboration involving seven PortugueseUniversities, Portuguese industry and MIT. This event is designed to foster further collaboration and raise awareness about the Fab Labs program. Lecturing on “Beyond the Digital Revolution”, Neil Gershenfeld, selected as a Time/CNN/Fortune “Principal Voice” and one of the top 100 public intellectuals around today, will present recent advances and new forms of exploring scientific investigation in areas such as Quantum computation and personal fabrication. Gershenfeld will also be focusing on work developed through Fab Labs (Fabrication Labs), part of the MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) which broadly explores how the content of information relates to its physical representation. The Fab Lab program has strong connections with the technical outreach activities of a number of partner organizations, around the emerging possibility for ordinary people to not just learn about science and engineering but actually design machines and make measurements that are relevant to improving the quality of their lives. The program is underway in countries that include Costa Rica, Norway, India, Ghana and South Africa. The lecture will start at 14:30 in the Grande Auditório at the NewLisbonUniversity Campus in Monte da Caparica. The initiative is sponsored by the Luso-American Foundation and the NewLisbonUniversity’s Faculty of Science and Technology. |
