All permanent employed researchers are full members of the Centre for Space Research (CSR). Most CSR members are also part of the Physics Subject Group in the School of Physical and Chemical Sciences at the NWU. At the NWU the administration of all research-related activities are handled by Research Entities (centre, research focus areas, research niche areas) while all teaching-related duties are handled in Schools.
