For the first time SACNASP has been given the opportunity to be part of the Forum. SACNASP was allocated two sessions on the 6th of December to discuss two topics:
1. Role of a Professional registering body and its constituent Voluntary Associations in the National Systems of Innovation (Chaired by Prof. Robin Crewe Pr.Sci.Nat.); and
2. Determining competency of Professional Natural Scientists (Chaired by Prof. Khathu Nephawe Pr.Sci.Nat. – Vice Chairperson of SACNASP).

Q & A session (± 45 mins) will follow each presentation.

The key objectives of the Forum remain:
1. To create a platform for a vibrant debate on the role of science, technology and innovation in society;
2. To promote international science, technology and innovation partnerships and
3. To create a platform for key science, technology and innovation actors, including senior government leaders, academics, scientists, industry, civil society, and students to interact.
