Held under the theme, “Implementing Science-Based Solutions and Strategies for Coastal Resilience”, the duo from the CSIR’s Coastal Systems and Earth Observation Research Group showcased the recent research findings from their PhDs indicating that the increasing pressure that South African coastal zones and ecosystems are facing stem from anthropogenic factors.
Omarjee shared the findings of a study based on the daily influence of eutrophication on pH in aquatic ecosystems. Here, laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the influence of aquatic biomass on pH variability during diurnal intervals.
The CSIR hereby invites applications from researchers in South Africa or across Africa with active collaborations with researchers at South African universities for bursary support for students, who intend to further their postgraduate studies in laser and laser application-related disciplines at South African universities in 2025.
The CSIR Transport Safety Laboratory (TSL) plays a critical role in promoting the safe and efficient movement of people and goods across South Africa.
Abalone farmers along South Africa’s coast are now using ocean colour maps to track marine algal blooms that could harm their export molluscs. Scientists from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) developed ocean colour and temperature data from satellites that is easy to access as an online tool. The work forms part of the country’s ocean economy plan to boost aquaculture jobs.
The CSIR is inviting researchers employed at public universities and universities of technology in South Africa to participate and apply for funding to support their laser-related research programm
Proposals for grant funding are hereby invited for the following two separate and independent elements within the RISP:

B. Feasibility study or business plan support for innovation enabling mechanisms such as:
a. Science and Technology Parks, Techno Parks, Innovation Hubs, Tech Hubs or other similar concepts.
b. Other innovation enabling mechanisms and initiatives.
CSIR Smart Places is currently engaged in a project to clear out the Environmental Labs in Pretoria and Durban. The cluster has decided to donate the remaining items to an external party.
The ALC Knowledge Exchange Programme (KEP) supports the development of centres of expertise in photonics-related disciplines across the African continent.
The Collaborative Program in Additive Manufacturing (CPAM) invites companies to respond to a Call for Proposals (CFP) for an SMME support development program for access to additive manufacturing (AM) design and prototype production (printing) expertise support.
The African Laser Centre is a NEPAD flagship initiative and is funded by the Department of Science and Innovation.
