Dame Judith Hackitt DBE FREng

Venue: Saïd Business School, Park End Street, Oxford OX1 1HP
Join us for this Joint SCL and ICE event where Dame Judith Hackitt DBE FREng will explore how good engineering can make the world a better place at 6.30pm in Oxford.
Dame Judith Hackitt DBE FREng is a chemical engineer and currently Chair of Enginuity, the UK skills body for Engineering and Manufacturing. She is also a senior non-executive director of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, an organisation which exists to support and encourage innovation in Advanced Manufacturing, and is a Board member of HS2 Ltd. Following the tragic fire which occurred at Grenfell Tower in London in June 2017, Dame Judith conducted an independent review into Building Regulations and Fire Safety related to high rise buildings for the Government.
The Grenfell Tower fire was a chilling lesson in how failure – human and technical – can lead to tragedy. Dame Judith Hackitt DBE FREng will talk on what lessons can be learnt from this and how engineering can help to make the world a better place drawing on some of her personal experiences, the importance of ethics in engineering and building Safer Complex Systems.
The meeting will be chaired by Richard Bayfield FICE FCIArb (Former Chair SCL and currently ICE Trustee for ethics and professional conduct).
This meeting is free of charge to SCL Members, CE Berkshire members & their guest.
