Based on funder advice, we decided to host a 1 day symposium in 2013. The idea is that we give senior postgraduate, faculty, affiliate and staff members the opportunity to present on their work. We hope to continue the tradition and this page will list all presentations.
Sponsored by Sasol and CRSES. Endorsed by SolarPACES.
