The HPW Online course goes live in September each year and builds week by week, to slowly reveal the various factors that make Earth the only planet we know to be habitable. Students progress from week to week by succeeding at the online tests. This is the place to come to find all the latest info!

This online course constitutes the primary selection tool to determine who attends the 44th Habitable Planet Workshop in the North West Province (HPW44). To be eligible to attend this event, you must meet the following minimum criteria: (i) be over 18 years old, (ii) have not previously attended a physical undergraduate HPW and (iii) be based in South Africa, or able to travel to South Africa, to meet our travel booking from within the country.
If you meet these criteria, then your grade in the HPW online course constitutes the primary selection criteria for attending. From those who meet these criteria, the top 25 participants (based on weekly test scores), will be automatically invited to join HPW44. ACCESS may also offer places to more than these 25 participants. These additional places may be awarded based on test scores and/or selected in order to ensure equitable gender/demographic or institutional representation.
