IST-Africa Conference
The IST-Africa Conference was hosted by the Government of South Africa through the Department of Science and Innovation, supported by the European Commission and African Union Commission. The conference took place from Wednesday, 31 May to Friday, 2 June 2023.
This was the eighteenth conference in an annual series of Ministerial Level Technology Research Conferences. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Society on Societal Implications of Technology (SSIT), IEEE South Africa Section and IEEE Africa Council were technical co-sponsors.

CSIR senior researcher Dr Thomas Ryan-Keogh and CSIR research group leader for the Southern Ocean Carbon-Climate Observatory Dr Sandy Thomalla are co-lead authors of this high-impact research, which suggests that there may be a reduction in the supply of iron to the Southern Ocean’s surface sunlit waters.
Outlining the significance of the research, Ryan-Keogh says that the Southern Ocean is a globally important region that helps to mitigate the impacts of climate change by absorbing, mainly through physical processes, a significant proportion of the man-made carbon dioxide that is emitted through the burning of fossil fuels. “Almost half of all the anthropogenic carbon dioxide that dissolves in the ocean does so here,” he says.
