The bi-annual seminars of the Spotlight Series afford ​academics a platform for linking their research to the topical themes of national and international commemorative days. This opportunity is used to build cameraderie in the SU Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Please do register for the event, for either kind of attendance. Although the event has been offered in hybrid format since the pandemic, in-person attendance in the BMRI building (Room 4003) on Tygerberg campus is preferred. Both options for attendance require registration. Brief creative performances by FMHS students are included in the programme. The event starts promptly at 11:30 and runs until 2pm with a light finger lunch served at the end.
