Carolina Ödman-Govender University of Western Cape
In this talk, I will explore how scientific excellence can be a tool for development. Using the example of astronomy in South Africa, I will illustrate what major shifts have happened to stimulate science and technology, among others through the development and of a skilled workforce. I will draw examples from the Square Kilometre array project as well as other initiatives and I will describe how we plan socio-economic benefits in future projects.
The seminar will be broadcasted via web. Room will be available 15 minutes before the talk, when you can click WATCH WEBINAR to attend it or https://zoom.us/j/596761139. System requirements are here.
