Mexico/South Africa Joint Science and Technology Research Collaboration 2024

On 19 April 2010, South Africa and Mexico entered into a science and technology (S&T) agreement which resulted in the development of a Programme of Cooperation (PoC) which serves as an implementation plan for joint programmes between the two countries. As a result of this PoC, joint researchers’ workshops on astronomy, oceanography and advanced manufacturing were organized from 2024 to early 2024.
