The 2023 edition will take place at the Cape Town International Convention Center (CTICC) in Cape Town from 6 – 8 December. With the 22nd HFSP Awardees Meeting, HFSP wants to honor South Africa as its new member country, allowing the HFSP community to connect with scientists from South Africa and other African countries.
