The Human Capital and Knowledge Systems Programme, consisting of three sub- programmes, aims to develop and implement national programmes to produce knowledge and develop human capital and the associated infrastructure, equipment and public research services. This programme received R1.6 billion of the total appropriation and under-spent by R7.6 million. Some of the outputs reported for this programme in the 2009/10 Annual Report are: . The National Science Week attracted 204 950 participants, exceeding the target of 200 000. . South Africa, through the South African Mathematics Foundation, hosted the Pan African Mathematics Olympiad in April 2009. This DST-funded event saw a record number of 12 countries entering and participating. South Africa was the second overall winner. . The Department placed 320 unemployed SET graduates in SET-related institutions. . In the 2009/10 financial year, the DST's comprehensive bursary scheme supported 287 students at honours or honours equivalent level (87 per cent black, 23 per cent white, 58 per cent female and 42 per cent male). At masters level, a total of 140 new and continuing students (74 per cent black and 55 per cent female) were supported. . The South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChI) increased from 72 to 82. The number of students and postdoctoral fellows supported under the research chair grants grew from 392 in 2007 to 514 in 2009. . On 11 November 2009, under the DST-funded African Origins Platform, researchers at the University of the Witwatersrand's Bernard Price Institute of Palaeontology announced the discovery of a new species of dinosaur. Scientists also described and named a new species of hominid, Australopithecus sediba, almost two million years old, which was discovered in the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site in 2008. . The 2009/10 financial year saw the finalisation and approval of the Nanotechnology Public Engagement Plan, the implementation of which commenced during the reporting year. The Nanotechnology Research Plan, which focuses on nanotechnology research in the country for the delivery of strategic goals, was also finalised and distributed nationally at workshops. . The National Photonics Strategy was approved in the reporting year, paving the way for the commencement of the development of this area of science in 2010/11. . The third SADC workshop on Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) policy development and regional cooperation was hosted from 22 to 24 June 2009 in the Republic of Seychelles. The primary aim of the third workshop was the development of a Plan of Action (2009-2010) for the establishment of a regional framework for the protection of IKS. . The DST, in partnership with the Office of the Premier of Limpopo, hosted the 2009 IKS Expo from 3 to 6 November 2009 in Polokwane.
