The UK Royal Academy of Engineering has opened a new call for grant proposals which will support partnerships between businesses and university academics in South Africa, with up to £80 000 of funds to be made available for research and innovation. Applications will be led by academics, but in a statement issued by South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Thursday, the chamber said industry partners in South Africa with ideas for “win-win” partnerships with universities, that would benefit the business’s bottom line, forge links for academics with their industry stakeholders and produce innovation that benefits society, were especially sought after.
