Current and Future Research Capabilities Johnson Matthey Technology Centre in South Africa

Jan 2013 Modelling laboratory established at CSIR PretoriaAim to develop a centre of excellence in multi-scale, multi disciplinary modelling of materials and processes of relevance to Johnson Matthey.Build on the JM tradition of fundamental research by conducting world class science within JM laboratories in collaboration with the local academic community.Core Science Provides underpinning research for the development of new products and processes. Creativity, novel techniques and approaches to work, provide a sustainable science base.Academic Programmes link with Core-science and provide people, ideas, opportunity for blue sky research and fundamental scientific development.Confidential#
