The Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) and the National Research Foundation's (NRF's) Centre of Excellence in Palaeosciences, known as Genus, will expand research support, knowledge generation and networks this year to drive accessibility to communities and holistically address the barriers of entry into palaeosciences, says Genus project director Dr Christine Steininger. “We want to ensure greater access to development and opportunities for emerging scientists. While accessibility is key, we also want to strengthen research into big picture thinking that continues to incorporate a trans-disciplinary approach in answering some of the questions around current and future global issues,” she says.
