Invitation to Organize Activities for National Science Week 2025

South Africans are invited to make plans for National Science Week 2025, which will be held from 4 to 9 August 2025 under the theme “Science, technology and innovation are for everyone“.

This annual focus week, with activities such as research dialogue sessions, science cafés and exhibitions across the country, aims to close the gap between society and science. It is part of efforts to give South Africans knowledge about science, make them aware of scientific and technological developments, and equip them to form its own opinions about science matters.

Science affects every aspect of people’s lives, and people from all sectors of society are encouraged to organize activities to celebrate National Science Week and show others how they use and relate to science, technology and innovation. In order to design your own activities to celebrate National Science Week, refer to the guidelines (and topics) here.

Please register your planned events here so that we can provide the public with an overview of National Science Week activities.
