Public Lectures: Science & Society Engagement
The Lecture Series offers an engaging platform where science intersects with the community. This series invites leading scientists and innovators to share their groundbreaking discoveries and discuss important topics in science, technology, innovation, and environmental issues.
Designed to inspire and inform, the lectures highlight the practical applications of mathematics in everyday life, making complex ideas accessible and relevant to everyone. Additionally, many sessions include interactive workshops or intimate fireside chats, providing attendees with the opportunity to collaborate with experts, deepen their understanding, and build meaningful connections.
The lectures are held bimonthly at the AIMS Lecture Hall, starting at 19:00 (with doors opening at 18:45). Attendance is completely free, and participants are occasionally treated to snacks, adding a warm touch to the experience.
AIMS deeply values the contributions of its students, staff, alumni, scientists, partners, and the Muizenberg community, who have made the Public Lecture Series a resounding success.
Whether you are a curious individual, an aspiring scientist, or simply eager to explore new ideas, the AIMS Public Lecture Series promises an evening filled with inspiration, connection, and discovery. Don’t miss out—join us for the next session!
Attendees Feedback
"Attending this has made me decide that once a month I am going to step out of my comfort zone and attend events that interest me, that I would not usually attend."
"PLEASE hold more wondering evenings like this. The venue is wonderful and I am super impressed with how the building looks inside, the facilities and the fact that all the top mathematical brains, from ALL over Africa can be under one roof. THANK YOU AIMS for making a difference."
"I was deeply impressed by how well organised the event was. We were greeted at the door by very friendly and helpful students. I could hear every word and follow along with the presentation and the fact that it was well attended speaks to great organisation. I appreciated the email reminder!"
