Reasons for Investing in Research and

Postgraduate Studies

2

• Provide an ecosystem of knowledge institutions in public, private and civil

society to support the socio-economic development, including the

consolidation of democracy

• Knowledge institutions provide agency to enable society to reflect on its

own reality in context and suggest modalities of changing it for the better

• Ensure that a society is not solely reliant on external knowledge and

external understanding of our context and reality

• Enable democratization of knowledge by ensuring that knowledge

production is engaged with society

• Investment in future generations enable the transformation of the inherited

knowledge system

Reasons for Investing in Research and

Postgraduate Studies

3

• The transformation of economies from Primary (eg agricultural production

and mining) and Secondary Sectors (eg mass manufacturing) to Tertiary

(eg advanced services such as finance and legal) and beyond have been

dependent on knowledge

• The transformation is thus dependent on capacity and capabilities of

knowledge institutions and individuals, which will enable the development of

new sectors of the economy

• Investment is thus necessary in institutions (incl enablers such as research

infrastructure and connectivity), individuals (academics, researchers,

scholars and postgraduate students) and the research enterprise, being is

a system of connected actors, actions and spaces that creates, adapts and

adopts knowledge in order to shift knowledge boundaries, and to positively

impact society, the economy and the natural environment

Support for Research and Postgraduate Studies

7

• NSFAS provides support for financially needy and academically deserving undergraduate students

• NRF provides support for institutions, researchers and postgraduate students pursuing research on a competitive basis

• Research infrastructure and equipment grants

• Research grants

• Postgraduate student bursaries

• Demand and need for researcher and postgraduate student support exceeds available support

• Given the need to grow and transform the research system, SA needs to aim to support up to 20% of registered PG students within the next 10 years

• Similarly, we should aim to support a 50% success and funding rate of research proposals submitted within the next 10 years
