On Tuesday the Department of Science and Technology launched its web-based tool that will capture statistical information on research and development (R&D) activities at universities, science councils and other government R&D funded agencies. The Research Information Management System (RIMS) was launched by Science and Technology Minister, Mosibudi Mangena.
According to the manager of the sector for R&D planning, Nkuli Shinga, the RIMS is a strategic tool that will be completely integrated with other existing systems at an institutional level. It will provide real-time information on human resources for science, engineering and technology, research and development (R&D) capacity and technology improvement and innovation.
Minister Mangena has been quoted as saying RIMS will provide government with the necessary tools to obtain detailed holistic understanding of where its research and development funds are invested, and how much it is spending on each area of science and technology.
