Research Support

Page Content

​​​At our university, research and innovation is driven by a strategy of gearing research towards Chairs and institutionally approved Niche Areas and CITSIs, which promote innovative research for the economic development of the country and also enjoy international recognition. In line with this, TUT focuses its research resources (people, infrastructure and funding) into carefully selected R&I areas. This promotes accelerated development of research and innovation and advance the realisation of TUT’s goal to become a fully recognised research institution able to participate in the National System of Innovation and internationally. 

Our objectives are to: ​
​​​
  • Manage and promote research and innovation at the university within carefully selected research areas (the Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the National Research Foundation (NRF) South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChIs) and Industrial Chairs);
  • Ensure the development of individual researchers at all levels; 
  • Facilitate support to postgraduate students and postdoctoral research fellows; 
  • Coordinate the collection, evaluation and submission of research outputs to the Department of Higher Education and Training; and 
  • Facilitate support for researchers to earn external research income for the university.​
