[IRTalk] Your input re the SA Draft White Paper on Science, Technology and Innovation

[Ina Smith]

Dear Colleagues

South Africa has recently released its Draft White Paper on Science, Technology and Innovation.

Open Science is also covered as part of this White Paper, and we would highly value your input on this part, but also the rest. This an excellent opportunity to make sure the SA science of the future is globally aligned, and hopefully other countries can also benefit. Different perspectives from different experiences and backgrounds bring so much value, and we would like to invite you to also contribute and give input.
