International Symposium on Morphological Sciences
OVERVIEW
In August, researchers from SMU made a significant mark at the International Symposium on Morphological Sciences held in Cape Town (5 – 8 August 2023). The event served as a platform for them to showcase a range of pioneering research projects they had undertaken, all of which had been made possible through funding from Dirisana Plus.
Moreover, these dedicated researchers further showcased their exceptional work by participating in the South African Association of Health Educationalists (19 – 21 June 2023) as well as SMU Research Days (23 – 25 August 2023). These additional platforms allowed them to present their research projects to a broader audience, extending the reach of their findings and insights.
