[IRTalk] Registration now open for Science Forum South Africa (SFSA) 2018

Dear Colleagues

About SFSA2018
The Science Forum South Africa (SFSA) fully subscribes to the notion of open science. SFSA is dedicated to igniting conversations about science that will promote open scientific research and innovation. Open science is the movement to make scientific research accessible to all levels of society. This approach first came to the fore in the 17th century when groups of scientists started to share their resources to enhance their work. SFSA wants to contribute to the conversations around the desire of scientists to have access to shared resources versus the desire of individual entities to profit from their resources.

The South African Department of Science and Technology is proud to host the fourth Science Forum South Africa on 12-14 December 2018.

SFSA2018 will, like the previous editions, serve as a large, open, public platform for debating the science and society interface. SFSA2018 will again provide Africa with an "open science" event, similar to forums convened with great success elsewhere in the world.

The two-and-a-half-day programme will bring more than 2 500 participants together for discussion and debate in plenary sessions, panel discussions and interactive talks. Exhibitions create further space for future-shaping conversations.

It is through conversations about science that society benefits, especially on the African continent.
