Behind the Scenes: Five Years of the HE²AT Center

by | Aug 14, 2026

Behind every dataset, every published paper, and every heat-health model produced by the HE²AT Center, there were real people — researchers in the field, colleagues around a table, and everyday moments that rarely make it into a journal article.

As the centre transitions to its next phase, we wanted to pause and share some of those moments. This gallery brings together photographs from across the past five years: the people who did the work, the places where it happened, and the small, human details that shaped it all.

It's a different kind of record than the one we usually publish — but in many ways, just as important. Science doesn't happen in isolation. It happens through collaboration, long days in the field, shared meals, and the relationships built along the way.

Take a look through the gallery below, and thank you to everyone who has been part of the HE²AT Center's journey.

Our Research in Print: HE²AT Center Publications

Over the past five years, the HE²AT Center set out to answer a simple but urgent question: how does extreme heat affect health across Africa — and what can we do about it? That work is now reflected in a growing body of published research. Every paper on this list represents months of fieldwork, data wrangling, and collaboration across South Africa, Zimbabwe, Côte d’Ivoire and beyond. As the project draws to a close, we wanted to take a moment to look back at what this collaboration has produced.
