Members attending the recent 21st General Meeting of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), elected Prof. Jonathan Jansen, Rector and Vice-Chancellor of the University of the Free State (UFS), as a Fellow of TWAS.
The meeting was held in Hyderabad in India and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh delivered the inaugural lecture.
According to Prof. Jacob Palis, President of TWAS, the decision made by the TWAS members is a clear recognition of Prof. Jansen’s outstanding contribution to science and its promotion in the developing world.
