Namibia Scientific Society – Science for Society

The Society

Founded in 1925 as a non-governmental, non-profit members’ organisation, the Society today provides a platform for exchange of information to local and foreign scientists and scientifically interested laymen.
We cooperate with other foundations, institutions and companies and coordinate contacts between those partners.

The Journal of the Namibia Scientific Society is a cross-disciplinary annual research publication covering scientific subjects related to Namibia.
