Share ‘n Dare Programme
The impact of the NSTF-BHP Billiton Awards goes far beyond the ‘glitzy’ Awards ceremony. Awards Winners are ‘ambassadors’ for their fields of expertise for the whole year. The NSTF, in collaboration with the Medical Research Council’s Web & Media Technologies Platform, arranges opportunities for the Award Winners to share their knowledge and experience with young people, to be role models, and thus to motivate, or dare, the youth to take up studies and careers in the sciences and engineering. There are no better role models than these top scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and science communicators!
