DESCRIPTION:During my working life there have been amazing advances in the
  welding of steel and aluminium\, and in the design procedures to improve 
 the safety and reliability of welded structures. Most have been driven by 
 large capital projects funded by multinational companies or by Governments
  and their Agencies. Some of the most important innovations and milestones
  will be discussed as seen from the UK and TWI’s unique central position
  in worldwide developments.\n\nWhat are the lessons from this history whic
 h can help future developments? The talk will discuss these\, covering fac
 tors which encourage creative and innovative thinking\, the beneficial eff
 ect of competition at all levels\, and the importance of the right funding
  sources to bring new ideas to the market place.\n\n---- A joint meeting w
 ith the Eastern Counties branch of the Welding and Joining Society ----\n\
