The CSIR is a dynamic world-class research organisation that applies technological innovation and multi-disciplinary research to provide specific solutions to a range of problems and issues. It focuses on issues that will improve the quality of life of South Africans, but also provides technological solutions beyond its borders. These solutions are developed through research either within the CSIR or in collaboration with partners and stakeholders from both the public and private sectors.

The CSIR, striving to be at the forefront of research both nationally and internationally, places a great emphasis on the development of people to ensure that they remain at the cutting edge of technologies. Researchers that work at the CSIR therefore receive exposure to career development opportunities and excellence in science, engineering and technology are well-recognised. Researchers are encouraged to develop their professional profiles and track record through publishing widely.
