|
|
The purpose of the symposium is to bring
together ALC grant holders and partners from across Africa, and students
at South African universities who are working in the various ALC
sponsored projects. The workshop programme is designed to facilitate
student presentations and interaction with project leaders. Time is
allocated for getting to know one another and to exchange ideas and to
share knowledge. The format of the workshop will be as follows:
- Each project leader will have the
opportunity to introduce the project, followed by a student presentation
(Total time allocated 20 minutes).
- Additional project presentations in the
form of posters.
- A limited number of rental pool student
presentations will also be accommodated.
- Three keynote speakers will also address
delegates.
The Conference venue is
STIAS in
Stellenbosch. The fact that the workshop is limited to ALC associated
researchers and students, will encourage interaction between grant
holders and students. |
