Against this backdrop, the quality of tertiary science education is pivotal to our future as a country and as a continent.

To this end the DoE has contributed a sizeable amount of money to begin the new Science Stadium project. In addition, the University needs to raise R140 000 000 over the next three years to complete the development.

Any donation of whatever size will help provide the best facilities possible for developing a new generation of top scientific brains.

Essentially a centre for teaching, learning and research, the new Wits Science Stadium is part of a project that incorporates:

• world class laboratory, teaching and tutoring facilities geared towards helping students to achieve a thorough understanding of their elected subjects and to increase pass rates;
• a new home for Mathematical Sciences – incorporating the Schools of Mathematics, Computational and Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Statistics and Actuarial Science and the National Centre of Mathematical Science;
• the renewal and alteration of exiting science facilities to accommodate and encourage the growth of post-graduate research.

The stadium will be underpinned by a 30% increase in staff over the next five years and by a cultivation of industry relationships to prioritise and promote relevant research.

Donations of any amount entitle South African tax payers to an 18A tax certificate. If you are located in the USA or UK, please click the links in the right hand panel for relative tax information.
