​The Physics department prioritizes community interaction on different levels.  We consider it our​ duty to educate and inform the broader community on aspects relating Physics and new discoveries.​​  To this end the department engages the community with a number of different projects, aimed at specific groups.  These include the following:

• ​​Annual road trip by our post graduate students to schools in the Western Cape.
• Physics department open day
• Regular African Laser Centre student workshops/conferences
• Participation as judges in the Eskom young scientist Expo
• Our staff serve on numerous professional bodies and editorial boards
• Regularly hosting schools in our undergraduate laboratories
