Whether it is mathematics, physics, chemistry or biology, the basic sciences underpin our comprehension of natural phenomena. The basic sciences provide a fundamental understanding of the world around us.

They are a key driver to sustainable economic development and provide an evidence base for responding to many challenges experienced in our modern world. The National Science Week (NSW) 2022 will focus on “Celebrating the role of basic sciences in the modern world.” This annual event will showcase and raise awareness about science. The week will be launched in Durban, at the Mangosuthu University of Technology Umlazi Campus on Saturday, 30 July 2022.
