White Paper on Science, Technology and Innovation</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> (p. 56-57) will in part depend on building an innovation culture in society and developing a science-literate
and aware citizenry. The White Paper therefore pays attention to skills and institutional arrangements to support and coordinate science engagement initiatives in South Africa. DST and its entities, the higher education sector, industry, research councils,
science centres and other relevant stakeholders are all to collaborate in science engagement. Scientists who participate in science engagement activities will be awarded continuing professional development points by the South African Council for Natural Scientific
Professions. Conditions for research training grants and research development programmes to science councils and public universities (e.g. research chairs and Centres of Excellence) will make it mandatory for recipient individuals and institutions to communicate
their research to the public. Initiatives such as digital literacy programmes can only produce the required results if society is science literate. It is therefore necessary to train scientists and researchers in science communication and science engagement
skills. These trained researchers and scientists would then help to introduce developmentally appropriate engagement activities and projects for both adults and school learners. Government will aim to have these skills taken up in the curricula of SET students
in the higher education sector.<br>
<br>
To increase the reach of awareness initiatives and promote access to information, science engagement activities will increasingly target the local government level, using appropriate communication technologies and techniques, including mainstream media and
social media. The development of science engagement and communication skills will be prioritised. Such skills development initiatives will target journalists, scientists, students, learners, educators and science interpreters. Indicators to measure the success
of system-wide science engagement performance will be adopted to inform an institutionalised survey on public perceptions of science and country comparison studies.<br>

data arising from research in publicly accessible repositories, and supporting open journal publishing and data sharing, providing access to data and other research outputs arising from publicly funded research. In this manner, research will be made more transparent,
rigorous and efficient in stimulating innovation and promoting public engagement. For research to be more transparent, rigorous and efficient, it needs to adhere to global best practice and align with international standards in scholarly publishing, streamlining
the exchange of knowledge among researchers and global partners. ASSAf is therefore proud to bring its research community the mentioned webinar, in an effort to address the expected outcomes of both the
