The Southern African Mercury Network (SAMNet) Symposium kicked off at VUT, bringing together researchers, industry experts, and policymakers from across Africa. Day 1 featured presentations on mercury monitoring in air, water, and food systems, discussions on student-industry partnerships, and strategies to align research with national priorities. A key highlight was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between VUT and the South African Weather Service, formalising collaboration, data sharing, and joint research initiatives. Roundtable sessions focused on discussing practical collaboration, structured programmes, and ways to ensure research informs policy and community action. A strong start to a symposium driving innovation, collaboration, and Africa’s mercury research agenda! #SAMNet #VUTResearch
