The subject of a free Institution of Engineering Technology (IET) event, which takes place on Wednesday November 16 2011 at the IET's Savoy Place headquarters in London (17.30 for an 18.30 start). The evening will feature two presentations, a panel discussion on low carbon transport and a wine networking reception.
