Report: Priorities and Challenges for Science Communication in South Africa

National Research Foundation

This report outlines science communication priorities in a country facing the same global issues as the developed world while in a state of transition and situated on an impoverished continent. South Africa's science communication aims are defined, with examples of successes (like science weeks and festivals, and science centers). Highlighting the bridge-building role of local scientists and the media, the report outlines progress and gaps, recommending action that gives South Africans the opportunity to understand and take pride in their country's scientific achievements, and to be able to apply and appreciate science and technology and develop it for future generations.
