The 8th CSIR Biennial Conference will take place on 2 and 3 November 2022, at the CSIR International Convention Centre in Pretoria, South Africa under the theme ‘Harnessing research, development and innovation for a robust South African economy’.
The conference, which is one of the flagship initiatives to celebrate our contribution to research, development and innovation in South Africa, will provide a platform to showcase our multiple research capabilities and the continued impact of our strategy in contributing to industrial development and supporting a capable state. The conference bolsters our position as a leading scientific and technology research organisation that conducts research, develops, localises and diffuses technologies to accelerate socioeconomic prosperity in South Africa.
This year, our stakeholders will get a glimpse of the progress we have made in implementing the strategy we adopted in 2019 through exhibitions and presentations by our researchers. It is an opportunity for our stakeholders, partners and funders to share in the advancements that have been made, as well as expand on the collaboration efforts that are key to the continued success of our organisation. The conference and its associated events will also serve as a platform to celebrate our 77th anniversary as the organisation since our inception in 1945.
The programme will include a plenary session which will feature key industry speakers. Parallel sessions have been designed around our nine synergistic clusters and will entail a range of talks and interviews, as well as tours of various CSIR facilities.
