Abstract: . . .  teams working in more transdisciplinary research activities. • There is a growing diversity of participating organisations to be found in today’s research teams. • There is a continuing trend towards greater international linkages in research teams. As a result of the difference between what exists and what is required, opportunities to learn and innovate are lost. The NSI still has the potential to contribute to the sustainable development . . .

This is a major constraint on the development of biotechnology in South Africa. This situation is not restricte . . .
