SmartSheffield #21 - Sheffield Climate Tech

Welcome to the SmartSheffield meetup on Local Climate Tech! In this event, we will explore the innovative ways in which locally developed technology is being used to combat climate change both here and around the world. As the world faces an urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and limit global warming, it is essential that we come together to find sustainable solutions for our communities.
This, the 21st SmartSheffield meetup, will be held in the Cantor Building (room TBC) at Sheffield Hallam University and will be hosted by our new sponsors: the Smart Technologies programme in the SHU Department of Computing who join Arup, the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Digital as main sponsors of the event!

As always, the format is that people can arrive from 6:30pm, then from 7pm there will be four short talks, followed by a quick bulletin from Chris Dymond on the latest local smart city news of interest, and then refreshments and chat until roughly 9pm.

Everyone is welcome and the meetup is designed for anyone with an interest in urban technologies and where cities are headed, not only professionals. Smart cities is a very broad and changing field and we are very grateful to be able to welcome people from many different fields, backgrounds and levels of knowledge.

We are yet to confirm our speaker line-up but check back here and on social media for updates, and if you would like to contribute a talk, please get in touch!

Follow us on Twitter @SmartSheffield and make sure you're subscribed to the mailing list to receive updates. You can subscribe at our website, SmartSheffield.city, where you can also see the talks and notes from our previous events.

Please book your ticket early as places are limited, and share this announcement with your networks and anyone you think will be interested!

We really look forward to seeing you there!

Chris & Sarah @ Unfolding.

Professorial Lecture- Professor Wayne Cranton: Light, colour, displays and the science behind the screen

The electronic display has become our primary interface for work, entertainment and communication. Through the screens of our smartphones, tablets, desktop computers, e-books and interactive televisions, we are increasingly dependent upon the performance of visual display interfaces to undertake our daily tasks, communicate with each other and to consume information and entertainment.
Drawing on his own anomalous perception of colour as an example, Wayne Cranton will discuss how the science of light and its interaction with materials has been used to develop technologies for display systems and how this relates to the capabilities of human vision and perception. The lecture will explore some of the key areas investigated by Wayne and his collaborators over the past 20 years, including light emitting thin films, display device engineering, and novel techniques for the next generation of transparent and flexible electronics.
Refreshments served from 18:00-18:30. The lecture will begin at 18:30 prompt.
