The Ghana Science Association (GSA) in collaboration with the College of Sciences (CoS- KNUST) and the National Sports Authority (NSA) on Tuesday 28th July, 2020, held a virtual conference dubbed “GSA Webinar/ 9th GSA Research Seminar and Poster Presentations”.
The theme for the conference is “using science, technology and innovation in the current pandemic and beyond”. The objective of the conference is to instruct, learn and share findings on how to use science and technology in an innovative way.
The Director General of the National Sports Authority, Professor Peter Twumasi in his remarks as the Guest of Honour for the Conference commended the GSA for the initiative. He also stated that the most significant problem with scientific research across the globe is the application of the research and its findings.
He further added that most equipment and tools used especially in sports can be locally produced with environmentally friendly resources. Professor Twumasi in his closing remarks, urged all science and technology experts not to be limited in the provision of intellectual properties, but also expose their finished products to the market for patronization.
