This programme has three main components. Firstly there is the NEXUS Database System that consists of a set of databases mainly related to the humanities and social sciences through which it provides information on current and completed research projects, research organisations, professional associations, biographical information on researchers, periodical submission requirements as well as on forthcoming conferences.

The programme secondly maintains the South African Data Archive, an archive of computerised raw quantitative data of large scale regional, national and international research projects mainly in the humanities and social sciences and makes these datasets available to the research community for further analysis, comparative studies, longitudinal studies, teaching and decision-making purposes.

The South African Network of Skills Abroad links skilled people living abroad who wish to make a contribution to South Africa's economic and social development and connects them with local experts and projects.
