UNPACKING THE CSIR MANDATE 3
Mandate
CSIR MANDATE
“The objects of the CSIR are, through directed and particularly multi-
disciplinary research and technological innovation, to foster, in the national
interest and in fields which in its opinion should receive preference, industrial
and scientific development, either by itself or in co-operation with principals
from the private or public sectors, and thereby to contribute to the
improvement of the quality of life of the people of the Republic, and to perform
any other functions that may be assigned to the CSIR by or under this Act.”
(Scientific Research Council Act 46 of 1988, amended by Act 71 of 1990)
