Exhibit at PRIS 2026
We have invited research institutions, public and private organisations to exhibit at PRIS 2026, which will be hosted at Coastlands Hotel Musgrave, Durban. Exhibitors will be allocated a table to showcase what their organisations have to offer.
This event will give postgraduate students, academics, researchers, and the public an opportunity to engage with your work and explore potential collaborations. It will also serve as a valuable networking platform for postgraduates, researchers, and external stakeholders.g
