General Information

SACNASP is now operating remotely with staff working from home due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Please communicate any enquiries to us via e-mail or telephonically.

Registration Office

SACNASP is very excited to be offering a new value-added service to all our registered scientists. You can opt in to advertise yourself on our website and your skills and contact details that you fill in will be searchable on our database of registered scientists. We receive numerous enquiries looking for contact details of registered scientists with specific skill sets and we thought this would be a great way to link our scientists with those in need of their skills. In order to make use of this opportunity, simply login to our scientist’s portal, click on “Networking details” and follow the instructions there. Remember we will only display what you enter there, so add your contact details if you’d like them shared. If you don’t’ know how to login to the portal you can go to portal.sacnasp.org.za and use your registration number.

If you’ve never logged in before your password will be your SA ID number or passport number.

If you’re struggling to login please drop us an email on registrations@sacnasp.org.za and we will gladly assist. You are also welcome to call us on 0127486500 and choose option 1 for registrations, but call quality may not be good as we’re all working remotely.
