Hi Jo
I was
wondering why you impose an age limit on the nominees for the lectures?
Also – I
was wondering if this was actually ‘allowed’ given the new age
discrimination legislation – although maybe it wouldn’t affect initiatives
such as this? It’s a question we’ve been debating given our “Young
Engineers” programme etc.
Cheers
