Abstract

CSIR’s partnerships with the University of the Western Cape (UWC), University of Cape Town (UCT) and Stellenbosch University (SU) seek to conduct research that improves the quality of the lives of the people of South Africa by responding to the country’s development priorities, which include improving health, supporting sustainable resource management, and strengthening skills. Through these partnerships, we contribute to national development objectives according to our specific mandates. Each one of our institutions has strategically selected areas of priority through which we contribute to addressing the country’s development challenges.
