Overview | Science Education | Science Awareness | Science Communication
As part of National Science Week 2021, the Science Engagement team has produced a recorded virtual tour exhibition that explores the facilities at iThemba LABS’s Materials Research Department (MRD). The exhibition is meant for public audiences to gain access to information about different research projects and hear from our experts how accelerators are used to conduct novel research for the benefit of society.  The exhibition will be accessible to public audiences throughout the country via an online portal hosted by NRF-SAASTA and the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI).
