Donations

In the past our research and training has benefitted enormously from generous private donations and endowments. In particular, this has provided opportunities to capitalise on major research projects and student support, and to disseminate these findings widely. We would welcome further such support, and we am very happy to discuss such possibilities (mjs @up.ac.za).
