The Long-Range Plan was drafted in 2017 and gives expression to iThemba LABS’s vision for the next 10 years. The plan is built on FOUR pillars, namely the Southern African Institute for Nuclear Technology and Sciences (SAINTS), the South African Isotope Facility (SAIF), the Gateway to International Research Infrastructure (G-iRi) and the Technology and Innovation Platform (TIP). These pillars are KEY strategic objectives that support the facility’s research, education and training agenda. iThemba LABS’s vision is to improve the lives of ALL South Africans and to contribute to a BETTER world through the pursuit of basic science and innovation.
