Jive Media Africa has been awarded a grant to conceptualize and develop a NANO facility tour at MINTEK and the University of free State (Solid State Lighting and Advancement Materials).

Jive Media Africa developed the National Centre for Nanostructured Materials facility tour at CSIR in 2011 in partnership with DST/CSIR centre. The CSIR tour was developed to create awareness of Nanotechnology by providing students, educators, the media, industry as well as the general public with the opportunity to visit the facilities and learn more about the science and resources available. This tour was featured as one of the NRF/SAASTA Science Advancement Highlights in 2011/12.

Read the invitation for more insight into the tour:
The Nanotechnology Public Engagement Programme (NPEP) in conjunction with the CSIR invited students, policy makers, industry representatives, scientists/applied researchers, science communication practitioners and the general public, to a one day Nanotechnology Facility Tour.
