The objectives of the South African Research and Innovation Management Association (SARIMA) are: (1) Professional development and capacity building of those involved in managing research and innovation systems; (2) Promotion of best practice in the management and administration of research and innovation to create value for education, public benefit and economic development; (3) Creation of awareness in academic and public forums of the value of a stronger research and innovation system and the contribution it can make to economic and social development; (4) Advocacy of appropriate national and institutional policy in support of research and innovation and participation in the development and testing of policy; and (5) Advancement of science, technology and innovation, including addressing the asymmetries in access to, and diffusion of, knowledge between "North and 'South." SARIMA operates at an institutional, national and international level, as well as across the research value chain, from research management to commercialization of research. SARIMA interacts and liaises with other organisations as required.
