Join the Faculty of Health Sciences on 30 and 31 August for a programme packed with high-quality research.
Fifty years ago, visionaries in health care established a research forum. Today, the
Faculty of Health Sciences celebrates all researchers who have shared their work during the past five decades.
On 30 and 31 August 2018, the Faculty Research Forum will once again be characterised by high-quality presentations, covering a range of relevant topics – a couple of which will receive awards at the conclusion of the forum. Attendees can also view and engage with exhibitors.
