Sasol research and technology
▪ 27 R&T scientists and engineers provide
mentorship to undergraduate and postgraduate
students from the Sasol Graduate Development
and Sasol Foundation programmes as part of
the Sasol employee volunteering programme.
Students gain vital technical as well as emotional
support from initiative.
▪ Our employees also provide lecturer services
on disciplines where they are experts at various
institutions in South Africa.
▪ In addition, our employees also provide technical
advisory support to the Sasol-NRF research grant
holders, as well as the newly funded postdoctoral
fellows and SARChI chairs.
▪ Sasol Scientists and Engineers form part of the
review panel for Postdoctoral and Chair calls.
TechnoX 2022 Involvement
In support of STEM careers, we hosted a virtual stand where scientists prepared videos of several engaging and
interactive chemistry experiments. This enabled learners to witness the wonder of science and allowed them to
understand the practical application of the theoretical knowledge they already posses.
University Collaboration
and Engagements
Equipment and Chemical Donations
to Academic Institutions
▪ As part of our University Collaboration
programme, we supported the Stellenbosch
University Career Fair to advise learners on how
to navigate challenges in their careers and how
to get the support they require to succeed.
▪ We also supported the CATSA 2022 and SACI
2023 conferences by having our subject matter
experts engage with various experts from
academic institutions in order to share valuable
information required to support the research and
development in our country.
In order to enhance research and innovation
in academic institutions, we donate equipment from
our facilities to institutions that require them for the
benefit of the students. In the past year, we donated:
▪ Reactor units to the Engineering Department of
the University of Cape Town.
▪ Parr Reactor unit to the Department of
Engineering at Monash South Africa.
▪ Excess/redundant chemicals to six
South African universities.
