Namscor16 a huge success
The Namibian Student Conference on Undergraduate Research (NAMSCOR) held a very instructive conference in Windhoek earlier this month.
The objective of the two-day conference was to bring together students from Unam, Nust and IUM to provide them with a friendly and conducive environment within which they could share their work, practice their presentation skills, receive constructive feedback and network with other in a similar research field.
The conference was sponsored byVision 2030 focus group magazine, Dinapama Manufacturing and Supplies, Unam’s Maltas Club and the Namibian United States Alumni Association.
According to the secretary-general of Swapo, Mr Nangolo Mbumba (Maltas''s patron and keynote speaker), he was delighted to be part of the historical conference 26 years after independence, where young Namibians could come together and engage in an intellectual discourse.
Other plenary speakers included Mr Folkers Williams from the Frederick van Zyl Slabbert Leadership Institute at the University of Stellenbosch and Dr André Costa, deputy ambassador at the Brazilian Embassy in Namibia.
The delegates presented various papers on HIV/aids, business and entrepreneurship, as well as youth development towards sustainability.
Ms Ndamononghenda Elias from the International University of Management scooped the best paper award and received a cash prize of N$1 200, while Ms Monica Risuro from the University of Namibia got the second best paper award and a cash prize of N$500. Ms Elizabeth Lukas, also from IUM, won the third best paper award and a cash prize of N$300.
All cash prizes were sponsored byVision 2030 and Mr Mbumba. Delegates were also treated to a light dinner.
The NAMSCOR16 committee would like to thank all sponsors and students for a job well done.
