Good day,

The SAIP would like to invite you to contribute to an exciting project 100 years of Physics in Africa – ‘Past, Present and Future.’

This initiative is prompted by the 100^th year of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). There are many beautiful and inspiring stories on how physics is thriving, changing lives, bringing development and impacting different parts of Africa, even producing world-class research and physicists with bare minimum resources, but the World never gets to hear of these incredible success stories from Africa.

An African proverb says, “Unless the lion tells the story, Tales of the hunt will always favour the hunter.”   This is your chance to tell your story, as the, IUPAP, looks forward to the next 100 years.  This is a story about a story: about physics and physicists and Africa. It can be a paragraph or in one or more pages. For more details and to participate in the project, please visit the project page:  https://www.saip.org.za/100YearsOfPhysics/.

Please submit your stories on or before 31 December 2021.

With kind regards

SAIP Office
