Science Fridays @Stellenbosch

Science Fridays @Stellenbosch is a series of public science dialogues about science communication and public engagement with science. It is free and open to anyone interested in how science connects with our daily lives. These events are hosted by the Centre for Research on Evaluation, Science and Technology (CREST) at Stellenbosch University. CREST hosts South Africa’s first DST-NRF Research Chair in Science Communication (SciCOM), as well as a Centre of Excellence in Science, Technology and Innovation Policy (SciSTIP).

The next Science Friday will be held in 2019.
