Bringing the Experts to You… TMS presents an interactive webinar, “Materials Science and Policy for Environmentally Benign Electronics,” that combines the ease of on-demand presentation access with schedule-friendly discussion board opportunities.

This webinar focuses on how concerns over environmental quality and human health are driving innovations in materials use and government policies, and on how economic considerations, consumer preferences, and differences in national and international agreements moderate the trajectory and geographical coverage of innovative solutions.

Presentations include:

• "Challenges in Innovation Toward Environmentally Sustainable Materials"

The research presented in this program is sponsored in part by Surface Mount Technology Association, the National Science Foundation’s Biocomplexity in the Environment Program (Materials Use, Science, Engineering, and Society) grants DMI-0223894 and CMS-0524903; and by an interdisciplinary research award TS-30856 from the University of California Toxic Substances Research and Teaching Program. Additional support was provided by the Program in Industrial Ecology at UC-Irvine. 

The presentations were privately recorded September 27th, 2007, and then made available for playback by registrants immediately afterward. The presentations are recorded rather than broadcast live for two reasons:

1. To avoid the possibility of users encountering technical glitches with their connections that may impair their ability to experience the presentations.
2. To recognize that all potential participants worldwide cannot all be available for a fixed-time live event

To keep the interactivity element of the event intact, webinar presenters will monitor this discussion for two months after the event and respond to postings/discussions that may appear here as appropriate.
