Institutional Associates

Institutional Associates are organisations or institutions that specialise in one or more of the eight NITheCS science fields or an interdisciplinary field that aligns with the NITheCS themes.

These Associates have access to a wealth of knowledge, resources and infrastructure, and their expertise and commitment to scientific research and innovation advance science and technology. They contribute to the development of cutting-edge solutions, the training of future scientists and researchers, and the dissemination of scientific knowledge.

They help to strengthen the interdisciplinary approach of NITheCS, fostering collaboration, excellence and collective advancement towards achieving our goals. Examples of our valued Institutional Associates are AIMS (African Institute for Mathematical Sciences), iThemba Labs, SAAO (South African Astronomical Observatory), and the CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research).
