DESCRIPTION:Evening lecture by Prof. Peter Lillford\, CBE\, University of 
 York\n\nIn 1995-6\, The UK's Office of Science and Technology published a 
 series of recommendations about the future of British Science and Technolo
 gy. The idea was that a focus for activities that would keep the country c
 ompetitive\, not only in its science but also in its wealth creation would
  be identified. In all\, 15 Business Sectors provided their recommendation
 s and identified some futuristic scenarios for life in 2015. This meeting 
 will recall the highlights of what some of them said might\, or should hap
 pen. At that time\, there were few GM plants\, and nobody was sure whether
  climate change was real. This event will offer the opportunity to examine
  the primary industry of agriculture and the environment\, the industrial 
 sectors of energy\, chemicals\, and food and drink\, and the service secto
 rs of retailing and the financial services. \nFree & open to all. Contact:
