The CSIR’s geophysics team uses high-resolution geophysical tools, such as 3D and 2D ground-penetrating radar, borehole radar and electrical resistance tomography to address a range of pertinent mi
The CSIR is working closely with the City of Johannesburg in establishing low-carbon development zones with waste to energy and renewable-energy powered mass transport systems.
The CSIR advanced material testing laboratories conduct tests on road building materials for road engineers and researchers, road owners, construction groups and consultants.
The CSIR, with its rich multidisciplinary science, engineering and technology base – in climate change, environmental sciences, energy, water, building science, spatial planning and cleaner production.
The CSIR has supported 23 SMMEs with the development of high-quality, regulatory-compliant, safe, efficacious and affordable cannabis products for local and international markets.
CSIR will be hosting the Polymer Processing Society (PPS) Europe-Africa 2019 Regional Conference (PPS2019) in Pretoria on 18 - 21 November 2019.
The PPS meeting is a leading conference on polymer processing and it attracts internationally renowned scientists, engineers and designers in the field of polymer research and development. The goals of the society, as embodied in its constitution, are to foster scientific understanding and technical innovation in polymer processing by providing a discussion forum for the worldwide community of engineers and scientists in the field.
“Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) inspires young people to generate new technologies and ideas that are crucial to developing sustainable solutions to real-world challenges,” said doctoral researcher Rivalani Baloyi from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
Baloyi and other researchers were engaging learners and encouraging them to take up careers in science during the 2022 National Science Week (NSW) which ran from 1 to 6 August 2022. NSW is an initiative of the Department of Science and Innovation that aims to celebrate science and its role in society.
The aim of the educational visit was to expose the Forum to various water related research, development and innovation (RD&I) projects taking place at the CSIR. Over 70 individuals attended the education visit and tour.
“Water leakage (non-revenue water), dysfunctional water and wastewater infrastructure, high-cost water treatment technologies, AMD treatment, poor water planning and accountability, dwindling water resources, deteriorating water quality, emerging water pollutants, lack of access to alternative water resources and lack of key domain skills are some of the water challenges being addressed,” noted Hlabela.
