INDUSTRY PARTNERS
The Eurydice consortium has identified several industry partners, to assist with bridging the gap between the theory that students learn in lecture halls and the practical environment they find at the workplace.

CSIR
Information about the organisation
The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, commonly known as the CSIR, is a world-class African research and development organization established through an Act of Parliament in 1945. Its executive authority is the Minister of Science and Technology. The CSIR undertakes directed, multidisciplinary research and technological innovation that contribute to the improved quality of the life of South Africans.
The organization plays a key role in supporting government’s programmes through directed research that is aligned with the country’s priorities, the organization’s mandate and its science, engineering and technology competences. The CSIR fosters partnerships with a network of partner organizations and clients, regionally and abroad, as part of a global sphere of influence on matters of technology.
Increasing the diversity of South Africa’s energy production mix is important to mitigate climate change while enhancing supply security. The CSIR Energy Centre aims to help the country achieve an energy-secure and low-carbon national economy. The unit develops and implements renewable and alternative energy technologies with a specific focus on innovations in energy storage, system integration and renewable energy technologies, while also contributing to policy formulation and market design. It draws on its multidisciplinary skills base to develop tools to analyze industrial development scenarios from an energy perspective and advises on industrialization in the energy sector.

Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE)
The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) was established in June 2019 by the merger of the Department of Energy and the Department of Mineral Resources.
Overview
The mission of the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (MRE) is to regulate and transform the sector for the provision of secure, sustainable and affordable energy and the promotion and regulation of minerals and mining.
The Department’s mandate is to ensure secure and sustainable provision of energy and mineral resources for socio-economic development. The strategic objective derives from the NDP, which envisages that, by 2030, South Africa will have a mineral resources and energy sector that promotes economic growth and development, social equity and environmental sustainability.
