Abstract
On the 5th of December 2022, the Science Granting Councils Initiative (SGCI) convened its Annual Forum Meeting during the 2022 World Science Forum at the Cape Town International Conference Centre, Cape Town, South Africa. The forum brought together representatives from Science Granting Councils (SGCs) and other Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) stakeholders to share findings and engender learning and reflection. The meeting also aimed at strengthening the linkages between the Councils and other STI system actors. The one day event provided an important opportunity to discuss progress of activities as well as consider impacts on the broader STI system. The delegates left the meeting with a new understanding of foresight studies, an update on key achievement areas within the SGCI and new knowledge on the role of political economy in shaping the work of the Councils.
