Haasbroek and fellow CSIR engineer, Vuyo Ndayi, represented the CSIR at Datawell BV from 17 to 21 July 2023 for the specialised Waverider® technical training in the Netherlands. The training focused on Waverider® buoy maintenance, fault identification and servicing. During their four-day visit, Haasbroek and Ndayi gained valuable insights into the existing hardware and software, as well as the new hardware and software developments taking place at Datawell BV®.
CSIR researchers will be using this year’s annual national science festival, Scifest Africa in Makhanda, to showcase optimised technologies to rural learners in order to equip them with the right skills for the the fourth industrial revolution.
The CSIR is displaying additive manufacturing, laser hardening and laser welding processes for manufacturing industry. It is also showcasing computer simulations done on Lengau, Africa’s fastest computer. Scifest Africa, which is currently underway, is one of the Department of Science and Technology's key science engagement platforms.
The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is proud to have been named one of the 2023 United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Champions of the Earth, for its contribution to the fight against plastic pollution.
On 30 October 2023, UNEP announced that the CSIR had been selected as a 2023 Champion of the Earth, honoured in the Science and Innovation category. The annual Champions of the Earth award is the UN’s highest environmental honour. The Science and Innovation category recognises individuals or organisations whose groundbreaking work pushes the boundaries of human knowledge and technology, with positive impacts on the environment.
The objective of this invitation process is to collect information to enable the CSIR to evaluate and identify suitably experienced, highly qualified, and a financially sustainable supplier within the manufacturing industry or related sector with a commitment to continue with the production of these products on terms and conditions acceptable to the CSIR.
