It is almost time for QUEST to start working on the next edition of QUEST Magazine, the official quarterly publication of the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), which will be published at the end of March 2024.
As such, QUEST is putting out a call for article submissions to relevant South African Universities and research institutions (space permitting). Article(s) can be submitted to Quest-Editor@assaf.org.za.
This is a chance to popularise the latest research from your organisation by submitting a popular article (700 to 1 000 words) by your scientist/s or researcher/s, for a deadline of Monday 12 February 2024. Articles to Quest are aimed at Grade 10-12 learners – both print and online (https://questonline.org.za/). The articles are text-light and photos/infographics/visuals are preferred. ORCID of researchers can be included.
The next edition is dedicated to the theme “Opening AI”,touching on topics such as:
- The era of AI has arrived, but what is currently possible – and what is not yet possible?
- How can AI practically help you today?
- South Africa’s contribution to the AI conversation and research
- AI and humanoid robotics
- Self-driving and its outflows etc.
Please note, however, that submissions do not necessarily have to be tied to the theme and can be on any new South-African science (for our features section).
We are looking forward to hearing from you and to discuss potential article topics.
We will also appreciate if you can kindly share the call with colleagues in your field in other institutions
For further inquiries, please contact Mr Magick M. Maphanga: magick@ASSAf.org.za
