Centenary Congress of the Society To commemorate the Centenary of receiving its Royal Charter, the Royal Society of South Africa held a Centenary Congress on 17 and 18 April 2008 at the Breakwater Lodge in Cape Town. The theme of the Congress was The Value of Science: looking Back and Looking Forward. The idea was to celebrate the achievements of the Society, especially over the last 30 years since the publication of A History of Scientific Endeavour in South Africa, edited on behalf of the Society by former President A.C. Brown FRSSAf, and to examine the future role of the Society in South African science. The Congress was also planned as a celebration of the inter-disciplinary character on which the Society prides itself.
