The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) has designed and constructed a mobile light detection and ranging (LiDAR) lab that will be operating at the University of Zululand, the second university to have and operate a LiDAR system within in its premises in South Africa.
This atmospheric laser radar is a state-of-the-art instrument that uses the most powerful techniques for active remote sensing of the earth’s atmosphere.
The CSIR has developed a platform that allows entrepreneurs to operate their own television stations over the mobile Internet. The platform is made up of two main components.

The CSIR has partnered with the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport to conduct a large-scale survey on the use of public transport in the Gauteng province.
More than 36 000 households have been selected to participate in this survey, which aims to assist government to plan for future investments in transport infrastructure in the province.
CSIR statistician Paul Mokilane won the Best Track Paper Award at the 2018 First African International Conference for Industrial Engineering and Operations Management, held in Pretoria, recently. Paul's paper titled: Long-term electricity demand forecasting using a generalised additive mixed quantile averaging (GAMMQV) model forms part of his PhD research and was presented in the Energy Track of the conference.
Maintaining a healthy and safe organisation is a priority for the leadership. For us to attain zero harm, zero disabling injuries and zero fatalities, we need to continue to cultivate a culture of health and safety within the organisation. The CSIR has created a Safety and Health video for staff, contractors and visitors. Click here to watch the video
The CSIR is looking for partners to license and co-finance the commercialisation of polymer formulations that offer great improvements and diversity in plastic packaging applications. EoI may be submitted by compounders to produce and sell the formulations, or by converters to incorporate the technology in films or by agents who will develop new products.
Closing date for applications is 21 September 2021 at 16:30

The Biosafety level three (BSL-3) laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility which enables scientists to conduct research and proof-of-concept studies in developing new diagnostics or therapeutics i
Meet Vuyo Ndayi
Ndayi is a Capetonian who grew up near the ocean and Cape Town harbour. He combined his love for his environment and for all things engineering to first train as a marine instrumentation technologist, and to now work as a metocean and marine instrumentation engineer for the CSIR Coastal Engineering and Ports Infrastructure group in Stellenbosch.
Exciting projects are always in the pipeline at the CSIR’s Coastal Engineering and Port Infrastructure Model Hall in Stellenbosch. The facility, which boasts the title of being the largest physical hydraulic modelling facility in the southern hemisphere, is home to Rosco Platen and his colleagues. Their primary task is to construct two and three-dimensional physical scale models on behalf of clients, enabling a comprehensive understanding of how dynamic ocean waves impact critical infrastructure.
