UCT's Law Faculty has been very pleased to host Professor Reinhard Steennot as their official UCT-sponsored visiting professor this year.

Professor Steennot has been involved in several events at UCT Law, including a guest lecture on Banking and Finance Law and a seminar titled Payment Fraud in the EU (and the US): Allocating Liability. The audience gained valuable insights from his views and critical perspectives on dealing with the everyday realities of scams, phishing attacks, and authorised push payment fraud.

Op dinsdag 19 mei nodigt de Belgische Federale Raad voor Duurzame Ontwikkeling (FRDO) u graag uit voor een conferentie over biodiversiteitsfinanciering en de ontwikkeling van natuurkredieten, getiteld: “A credit to nature: a matter of interest”, hoe kunnen we biodiversiteit financieren?

De conferentie werd voorbereid met prof. Caroline Nieberding en zal worden voorgezeten door prof. Patrick Van Damme.

This high-level Forum will gather 100+ business leaders, institutional representatives, policymakers, and investors from across Ethiopia and the Benelux region. It offers a unique opportunity to explore new trade, business, and investment partnerships with one of Africa’s most dynamic and fastest-growing economies.

In this talk, Allie Weis shares a behind-the-scenes look at the first edition of Roots & Pixels, a VLIRUOS ITP (International Training Project) connecting female-identifying game developers from Belgium, South Africa, Kenya, and Uganda.

Tune in if you’d like to hear more about a somewhat unconventional ITP (yes, video games and sustainable development can go hand-in-hand!) and/or would like to hear tips & tricks from a first-time ITP organiser.
