NRF has invested heavily in research capacity building, multidisciplinary research, Bilateral and Multi-lateral research programmes, and research infrastructure to enhance the sustainable development agenda. To showcase the various achievements and research outputs, NRF will hold parallel research dissemination workshops and exhibitions under the auspices of this conference. This parallel session will provide a platform for the Principal Investigators funded by NRF to present on thematic issues focusing on research outputs, outcomes and products.
This unique dissemination opportunity will demonstrate how research and innovation can be translated into practical applications that benefit industries and society, inform decision-making, improve practices and promote public understanding of scientific issues leading to economic growth.
