6 – 9 December 2022, CTICC, Cape Town, South Africa
SFSA 2022 was merged with the World Science Forum 2022, and was held from 6 to 9 December 2022 in Cape Town, South Africa.
Programme overview
SFSA 2022, like previous editions, served as an open, public platform to debate the science and society interface. The SFSA attracted a significant number of non-African speakers and partner organisations from Brussels to Beijing and from Toronto to Tokyo. An increasing number of continental groups such as the African Union, the African Academy of Sciences (AAS) or the African Union Panel on Emerging Technologies (APET) attend.
Building on this momentum and this exciting SFSA + WSF partnership, new groups such as the International Science Council (ISC) based in Paris, the European Commission’s in-house science services, the Japan Science & Technology Agency (JST) or the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) actively participated in the event’s planning and execution.
Theme
The theme for the Forum was Igniting conversations about science.
