Thank you for visiting the Unisa Research Administration website, offering a one-stop view of the support provided for research, innovation and commercialisation activities at the university.
Research and innovation at Unisa is going from strength to strength. Since 2011, we have been investing strategically in world-class equipment and facilities, attracting and developing internationally acclaimed researchers, and providing unequalled support to our research community. The results over the years speak for themselves.
At the last count, Unisa had 207 NRF-rated researchers, including three with A ratings. We have a dedicated Science Campus fitted with the finest laboratories and state-of-the-art equipment. Unisa is one of only two South African universities to host two international research chairs from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO). We are also very fortunate to host three SARChI chairs.
Our publication rate has increased by well over 60% since 2011 and scholarly books by 270%, but research at Unisa is not just about numbers. Research productivity is only one of four strategic imperatives for research at Unisa, alongside transformation, sustainability and influence.
In other words:
Unisa welcomes opportunities to collaborate and partner with like-minded researchers, research managers and administrators, and our doors are open to postgraduate students seeking a research home where quality counts.
We look forward to hearing from you.
