ABOUT SASAC
SASAC stands for the Southern African Systems Analysis Centre. It is a multi-year initiative developed by South Africa’s National Research Foundation (NRF) and the Department of Science & Technology (DST) as part of its membership of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).
SASAC PROGRAMS
Although not part of the original proposal, SASAC introduced a two-week inception in 2017 as an early welcome to the programme for students for students who have been selected as recipients of a SASAC scholarship.
SASAC Alumni
By 2018, SASAC had recruited three cohorts of doctoral students. These are Cohort I: 2016-2018, Cohort II: 2017-2019, and Cohort III: 2018-2020. Below are short profiles of the students from the respective cohorts as well as profiles on their supervisors.
