Dr Richard Betz

SUNCOI Project

Since 2017, Dr Betz has led the SUNCOI Project for learners from under-resourced high schools to conduct their syllabus-prescribed chemistry practicals in the University’s Chemistry Department laboratories under supervision and guidance of graduate students.  In this way, they can discover their love for this subject, which is often perceived as difficult. It also encourages more learners to take up study opportunities in the sciences.

The world lives on people who do more than their duty.
