This conference provides a platform for local and international chemists, including postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows from Higher Education Institutions, Research Councils, and Industry, to present and discuss their innovative research across all chemistry disciplines. Delegates can network, exchange research ideas, uncover new research opportunities and collaborations, and expand their knowledge. The Local Organising Committee is currently preparing a scientific program that will include plenary, keynote, and invited speakers who will cover a range of cutting-edge topics.The theme for the conference is Chemistry: A Window For Change, and it accentuates the transformative role of chemistry in addressing global challenges and fostering innovation for the change needed for a sustainable future.
Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city, was established almost a century and half ago following the discovery of gold and is thus often referred to as “The City of Gold”. This cosmopolitan city is home to a diverse group of people with a rich history. Its neighboring city, Sandton, is Africa’s wealthiest square mile which boasts world-class shopping malls and international cuisine, and it is only two stops from the university by Gautrain. The social program and excursions will allow delegates to learn about the city’s history, with places such as the Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct and the iconic residences of Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela to visit. The campus also boasts the Origins Centre which takes visitors through the origins of human kind in Africa, while the newly opened WITS Anglo American Digital Dome will take visitors on journeys through the mysteries of the cosmos, or to the depths of the ocean.
We look forward to welcoming you to The City of Gold in 2025.
Warm regards,
