[ 42:50 ] Einstein only knew two equations, it is not normal that we have to memorise so many others, we need an education with practical examples for our students [ 45:12 ] Only 15% of overall engineering students are women, and even less than that corresponding to IT professionals. Should engineering universities do more to attract women? [ 50:36 ] How is 5G expected rollout later this year going to impact businesses [ 53:08 ] Medical devices are a result of research and design work carried out by partners [ 57:47 ] Apply for the Altice Innovation International Award until 23rd September 👉 www.alticelabs.com/site/innovationaward/
