NNOVATION: The latest CPUT Research Report indicates a substantial increase in research outputs
Wednesday, 21 November 2012
Researchers at CPUT are involved in cutting-edge research and have established themselves as leaders in their respective fields.
And the proof is in the university’s latest Research Report, which highlights the huge strides CPUT has made in terms of research during the past few years.
The report also confirms findings of the Department of Higher Education and Training, who have noted an increase in terms of research output at the institution.
The 139-page report reveals an increase in the number of National Research Foundation (NRF)-rated researchers, improved research ratings and an increase in the number of master’s and doctoral graduates.
The report also showcases researchers who have made headline news by winning prizes and prestigious research grants from the NRF, Department of Science and Technology, Department of Trade and Industry and other national and international bodies. A number of researchers have also filed patents, trademarks, copyrights and formed spin-out companies.
Deputy Vice Chancellor Research, Technology Innovation and Partnerships, Dr Chris Nhlapo says he is pleased with the growth in research outputs and research activity at the institution.
“The institution has cemented its place within the South African National System of Innovation as an attractive centre for international cutting-edge research and innovation, and an appropriate destination for world-class research fellows.”
