Join us for a webinar titled 'Rethinking SciCOMM!!'.

Watch the webinar titled: A perspective of how scholars perceive attitudes to science in policy making in South Africa.

This discussion will introduce various perspectives – geographic, policy, economic and technological whilst exploring the question of whether embedded generation would provide a much-needed solution to environmentally sustainable electricity systems and whether such a solution is better suited to certain countries rather than others.

The South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP) is a statutory Council responsible for the registration and regulation of natural scientists in different fields of practices. One of the key strategic objectives of SACNASP is to promote professional development through lifelong learning in the natural science sector through Continuing Professional Development (CPD). The focus of the discussion will be on determining the role that stakeholders can play in supporting natural scientists’ lifelong learning, and the benefits. In this context, the following questions can arise: Can CPD be used as a tool for career progression in face of rapid expansion of scientific and technological knowledge? Will CPD ensure a lifelong career through upskilling, access to knowledge and the ability to adapt to new and novel approaches? Furthermore, can stakeholders use CPD as a vehicle to stay ahead of competitors and improve productivity? The key deliverable of this session is to provide an opportunity for all participants to highlight the role that CPD can play in the interests of scientists, the natural science profession and in the broader context of its contribution to society.

Join us for this online discussion forum hosted by the National Science and Technology Forum (NSTF) and its Professional Bodies and Learned Societies sector called proSET (Professionals in science, engineering and technology).

Please watch the SACNASP webinar on unlocking the full potential of data driven methodologies in natural science.
