The National Research Foundation (NRF) and Energy Mobility Education Trust (EM Education Trust) have partnered to advance skills development and training of postgraduate students. The partnership, which spans a three-year period, aims to strengthen the responsiveness of the country's National System of Innovation to the energy challenges it is facing by developing innovative skills development programmes, promoting inclusive and diverse skilling of highly qualified individuals from traditionally marginalised groups and contributing to the transformation of the South African education landscape.
