Research and Innovation

Page Content
​​​​TUT's vision is pioneering an enterprising and transformative brand of the twenty-first century university of technology. In 2014, the University adopted a new strategic plan and the goal for research has shifted from purely focusing on capacity development to one focusing on consolidating the gains achieved through years of capacity building. The new goal reads: “To promote a culture of inquiry and social enterprise through technology-based postgraduate studies, research and innovation in current and emerging niche areas”. 

As a new university of technology, we focus on the development of research and innovation (R&I) capacity in strategically selected areas of strength (niche areas) that are relevant to national and regional needs, priorities and opportunities. Staff development, increasing the number of postgraduate students and postdoctoral research fellows, strengthening leadership and platforms for R&I, building an enabling environment and institutional culture for R&I, facilitating knowledge transfer and commercialisation and increasing R&I funding and outputs are some of the priorities. TUT is continuously seeking to improve the system​s and incentives to support these priorities. All our R&I endeavours are supported and sustained through collaborative networks and partnerships.
