The C·I·B is an inter-institutional Centre of Excellence established within the DST-NRF Centres of Excellence Programme. This means that the C·I·B is not just at one institution but has affiliated researchers at a range of academic and non-academic institutes throughout South Africa. This inter-institutional arrangement allows a much broader range of research interactions to take place, allowing a wide diversity of research associates and students to benefit from the programme.
