6th Research and Innovation Strategy Group (RISG) Biennial Research and Innovation Dialogue – 11 June 2021
Universities SA (USAf) is pleased to invite you to the 6th Research and Innovation Strategy Group (RISG) Biennial Research and Innovation Dialogue scheduled for 11 June 2021.
The RISG has arranged five Biennial Research and Innovation Conferences in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018, respectively. The purpose of these dialogues was primarily to bring together various stakeholders in the research and innovation arena, locally and internationally, to deliberate on matters of mutual concern and interest, and have proved invaluable in creating a platform for robust discussions and future imperatives.
This year, the 2021 Biennial Research and Innovation Dialogue will take the form of a virtual event that will bring together delegates from Universities, Government, Industry and other agencies to deliberate on the following two thematic areas:
- COVID 19 Impact on Research and Postgraduate Studies; and
- Ethical research and integrity.
Date: 11 June 2021
Time: 09:00 – 16:00
