GCC5 2023
The University of the Free State (UFS), in partnership with the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and the National Research Foundation (NRF), invites abstract submissions for the GCC5, which will be held on the UFS Bloemfontein Campus from 30 January to 2 February 2023.

The call for abstracts, with the theme ‘Research and innovation accelerating transformation to global sustainability’, is open to any discipline (single, multi-, inter-, or trans-disciplinary). 

Among the topics are the following:

• The sustainable implementation space: innovation, institutions, and imagination
• Understanding a changing climate
• Reducing the human footprint
• Adapting the way we live

The deadline for submission is 15 November 2022, and abstract themes will be defined in the final session programme.
The scientific committee will assess all abstracts submitted, and those selected will be published in the conference proceedings.

This conference seeks to provide a networking and knowledge-sharing platform for global change stakeholders to exchange and debate the most recent research and innovations promoting transformation. Early-career scholars are strongly encouraged to participate.

For more information on submission and registration, please visit the website or contact secretariat@gcc5.org.za.

FSSO 12 Cellists & FSSO Big Band

The next FSSO concert is an interesting and unusual concert with twelve cellists of the FSSO playing in the first half of the programme and the FSSO Big Band after interval.

The recently appointed cellist of the Odeion String Quartet, Anmari van der Westhuizen, is the leader of the FSSO 12 Cellists. They will be playing Bachianas brasileiras no. 1 (Villa-Lobos), an arrangement by JC Jacobs of the Largo from Dvorak’s Symphonie No. 9 (From the New World) and Allan Stephenson’ s Souvenir de Sevilla.

After interval the FSSO Big Band conducted by Paul Loep van Zuilenburg, will play well-known items like American Patrol, Haarlem Nocturne (for those of us who can remember so far back – this was the theme music of the popular Mike Hammer series), Birdland and the theme from Pink Panther.
