13 September 2006
CONTENTS• Definition of Concepts• Strategic goals• Strategic focus • Selected initiatives• Expenditure estimates • New funding• MTEF comparison• Public entities and DST programmes• Summary
DEFINITION OF CONCEPTS• Nanotechnology is a field of applied
science focused on the design, synthesis, characterisation and application of materials and devices on the nanoscale.
• Hydrogen economy is an economy where hydrogen is used as the premier energy carrier similar to electricity or liquid fuels.
DEFINITION OF CONCEPTS (CONT)
• Advanced manufacturing is an intensive manufacturing processes, that utilizes cutting edge technology profile that draws heavily from advanced materials technologies, advanced product etc.
• ICT R&D involves the innovative use of ICT’s across multiple economic and social sectors (e.g. health, education ,etc) in order to address the challenges of the digital divide
DEFINITION OF CONCEPTS (Cont)
• Space and Astronomy are fields of science that are concerned with the study or utilisation of outer space
• CHPC is to be created as a national facility providing computing infrastructure and research platform to support scientists in cutting-edge research and development
• SANREN is a special high speed network connecting research and academic institutions locally and globally.

STRATEGIC GOALS• Ensure National Innovation System addresses
national socio-economic growth and development goals
• Develop highly competent and representative cohort of scientists
• Ensure world class scientific infrastructure • Administer optimal set of funding instruments• Respond creatively to global and continental
challenges
STRATEGIC FOCUS• Continue to implement the National
Research and Development Strategy (NRDS)
• Development of human resources, research and innovation
• Strategies in new areas of knowledge and technology
• Intellectual property derived from public funded research.
SOME FOCUS AREAS• Bringing large numbers of younger
researchers into the system • Research chairs in strategic areas • Engineering and technical skills that
underpin economic growth • Establishment of new innovation and
technology transfer institutions
SOME FOCUS AREAS
• The science and technology expenditure plan
• Social impact programme and technology for poverty reduction
• Implementing the new strategic management model for the system
SELECTED INITIATIVES• Promote SA as a preferred destination for
global science facilities (e.g. ICGEB)
• Establish the Academy of Engineering
• Establish technology intelligence capacity for new technology trends
SELECTED INITIATIVES (cont)
• Social Impact Programme was repositioned to focus on:– Sustainable livelihoods e.g.
• Aquaculture, Essential oils and indigenous medicinal plants
– Human settlements e.g.• Health innovation i.e. health problems
caused by poor quality fuels and appliances for cooking
SELECTED INITIATIVES (cont)
Increased service delivery
• Rural connectivity
• Digital doorway
