Nobel in Africa is a Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Studies (STIAS) initiative, presented in partnership with Stellenbosch University and with the support of the Nobel Foundation and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
The programme, which is funded by the Knut & Alice Wallenberg Foundation, is aimed at promoting areas of science in which breakthroughs are occurring or which have cultural or social significance. According to STIAS, the talks “provide a unique opportunity to support and showcase advanced research and scholarship on the African continent”.
