Financial Or Intellectual Imperatives
Exploring how network practices have begun to penetrate higher education and industry in South Africa, this study looks at the three high-technology fields that are most likely to generate benefits for South Africa: information and communication technology (ICT), biotechnology, and new materials development.
Vision and Reality
This volume of essays critically reflects on modern policy initiatives in South Africa's education and training, such as Curriculum 2005, and evaluates the practices of teaching and learning and the integration of education and training.
Balancing Multiple Mandates
Science councils have been tasked with complex new mandates. To achieve these, they have to interact with knowledge users in the private and public sectors and be of benefit to communities, particularly to those that are vulnerable and marginalised. What are the diverse forms of interaction in science councils with distinct legacies, what are the diverse forms of partners and what are their outcomes? What are some of the successful strategic policy interventions, organisational structures and internal incentive mechanisms that science councils have created to channel and promote these interactions? Balancing multiple mandates: The changing role of science councils in South Africa is an important study - building an evidence base to inform the contribution of science councils to innovation, poverty reduction and inclusive economic development in South Africa.

Publisher Description
Linking Universities and Marginalised Communities
"South African universities are mandated to promote scholarship that is socially and economically responsive to local contexts. The contribution of universities to innovation is a key driver of economic and social development, but should be more effectively harnessed to address poverty and inequality. Linking Universities and Marginalised Communities examines how South African universities engage with the informal sector in marginalised communities to improve livelihoods through inclusive innovation. The knowledge imperatives of universities are explored in relation to the public good and social justice, and the roles of innovation and technology transfer. Case studies provide examples of coherence between teaching, research, innovation and community engagement, and illustrate the enablers and constraints to such interaction"--Page 4 of cover.

Empirically informed and contextually grounded, the book focuses on the engagement practices of individual academics in five South African universities. ...this ... study aims to map patterns of interaction between universities and a wide range of external social partners."--Back cover.
