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.

Three Kovsies were selected for the SA u.20 Rugby Junior World Championship which will take place in Wales during June.

The three who made it to the final squad are PW van Vuuren, Wilton Pietersen and Robert Ebersohn.

The 7 Kovsies in the initial squad were PW van Vuuren, Wilton Pietersen, Robert Ebersohn, Earl Snyman, Cameron Jacobs, Marlin Ruiters and Sias Ebersohn.

Van Vuuren and Pietersen both played for the SA u.19 team in 2007. Robert Ebersohn is a first-year student at Kovsies. Pietersen and Ebersohn, who played for the SA Sevens earlier this year, will be in action on Friday in the Vodacom Cup final clash between the Cheetahs and the Bulls.

All three these players played for the Shimlas in the FNB Varsity Cup.
