Today, we had the pleasure of hosting students from the University of Limpopo for engaging lectures and guided tours of our facilities.
These interactions not only showcase our science but highlight the opportunities for young scientists to contribute to advancing knowledge and innovation in South Africa and beyond.

Here’s to nurturing the next generation of innovators!

The Institute for Collider Particle Physics (ICPP) headquartered at the University of the Witwatersrand, led by Director Prof. Bruce Mellado, has been named one of the global recipients of the prestigious ODESS 2025 Prize from the Pierre Fabre Foundation in France. This highly selective competition received a record 350 applications from around the world.

The prize recognises a technology transfer achievement of the SA-CERN programme, adapting methods from experimental particle physics to broader applications. The winning project integrates environmental sensors, IoT communications, and real-time AI-powered analytics—an approach inspired by how detectors at CERN collect, transmit, and analyse data in real time.
