  1. 2005/2005 2005/2006 2006/2007 Science and technology for competitiveness Priority issues Programme 5 DST June 2004 2004/2005 2005/2006 2006/2007

  2. S&T for Competitiveness Innovation • Technology Missions (industry, science council and academic links for economic growth) • IPR from publicly funded research: policy • Innovation Fund (targeted programmes and IPR issues) • CSIR (and links to other relevant science councils) Science Platforms and Human Capital • NRF is the key line institution, DoE a key partner • Issues of transformation are key • Science platforms: Astronomy (SALT and SKA), Antarctic, Islands and Oceans Research, and Paleo-world

  3. Enhanced Innovation Technology Missions • ICT and Space • Biotechnology and HIV/AIDS • Advanced manufacturing and national logistics • Resource-Based Industries (including PBMR and the hydrogen economy) The Innovation Fund – continued development Institutions • CSIR, BRICs, Mintek, HSRC, , .. • Energy research (DME/DST) Strategy and NERI establishment • Space (agency?) and ICT (AIICT) • Private sector: major players and high-tech SMMEs

  4. Science platforms and human capital • NRF is the key line institution, linking to DoE is critical • Transformation • race, gender and disability • science and youth • Centres of Excellence Programme(s): June 2004 launch • Platforms: Astronomy (SALT and SKA), the Antarctic , Islands and Oceans research, and “Paleo-world” • Human capital interventions need strengthening

  5. Pr5: Cabinet issues over the last period • Biotechnology Strategy (February 2002) • Open Source Cabinet Memo (February 2002), ICT road-mapping (November 2003) • National R&D Strategy (approved July 2002) • R&D Indicators (November, 2003), R&D survey (June 2004) • SA National Antarctic Programme: S&T component transferred to DST (October 2003) (2 Cabinet memos) • Square Kilometer Array (3 Cabinet Memos) • Advanced Manufacturing Technology Strategy (November 2003), PBMR Human Capital Programme, (June 2004)

  6. Meeting the Challenge Ensuring a strong partnership with NRF and Education: school level and Tertiary research issues: transformation, excellence Building the innovation programmes, promotion and capacity in the technology missions IPR from publicly funded research – policy (mid August) and legislation Strategic leverage through astronomy (SKA) and space (National policy/agency?) AMTS roll-out to provinces Finalising the new ICT institutional framework (AIICT) and bandwidth challenges for research (National Research and Education Network) New Directions: nanotechnology, space, hydrogen economy
