Cohort featured best of the best
A delegation of nine young South African scientists recently returned home inspired and equipped with new international partnerships after representing the nation at the 10th Brics Young Scientist Forum and 8th Young Innovators Prize in Brasilia from September 15 to 17.
The delegates, selected by the Department of Science, Technology and Innovation, and the Academy of Science of South Africa from a highly competitive field of 256 applications, showcased groundbreaking work addressing critical global challenges.
The forum, a premier platform for expanding scientific cooperation among young researchers from Brics nations, focused on three key themes: climate change mitigation, science diplomacy, and artificial intelligence for societal solutions.
The South African cohort made a significant impact across all themes.
