Making the announcement, President of the World Federation of Science Journalistsand Serbian science TV anchor, Milica Momcilovic commented: “Our Board was unanimous that the standard of existing conferencing facilities and the experience of the bidding partners, added to the breadth and depth of research undertaken inside South Africa and linked to its continental and global partners, are world class”. She added that: “We are confident that the value proposition in coming to Africa for the first time, allied to the range of side visits and scientific infrastructures that our members will easily be able to access and report on, points towards the richest programme and most diverse group of both young and experienced delegates that our Federation has ever been able to assemble”.
