The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) was established by NLC Decree 293 of October 10 1968 amended by NLCD 329 of 1969 and re-established in its present form by CSIR Act 521 on November 26 1996. The genesis of the Council however dates back to the erstwhile National Research Council (NRC) which was established by government in August 1958 to organize and coordinate scientific research in Ghana.
