Managing Director, Dr Mamoeletsi Mosia, says the event will expose the public to an evidence based approach of problem-solving.
Dr Mosia was speaking during the launch of the initiative at the University of Venda in Thohoyandou, Limpopo.
“This year’s theme is: Transforming lives through evidence based Science. We want to showcase their research that’s been done in the country through which the public can realise that there is research happening and through that, we are able to solve our own problems. There are also the sub themes within the theme and we’re looking at energy and agriculture. In energy, everybody knows the challenges that we have in in the country and in terms of agriculture.”
