The 60th anniversary of the Gobabeb–Namib Research Institute is an opportune time to look back on Gobabeb’s institutional development and accomplishments and to look forward to future directions. Here we present a synopsis of the finding and founding of Gobabeb; the building of its research and training platforms; the reframing and transformation of the institution following Namibian independence, establishing the diverse funding to secure its future as a thriving research institution; and the development of relevant linkages and science networks, including the relationship to the Namibia Scientific Society.
