Research and Innovation Week

19 to 23 May 2025

Muckleneuk and Science Campuses

Research across the world has been well and truly shaken up by recent geo-economic events in the global arena. Even before this, more and more African voices, including Unisa’s, have been rallying for our continent to take charge of our own research agenda. The 2025 Unisa Research and Innovation Week will provide the ideal platform for discussions on Africa-driven, globally relevant research.

Under the banner Proudly African and globally relevant, the 2025 Research and Innovation Week seeks to address the unique challenges faced by the African continent, while also contributing valuable insights to the broader global community. It is grounded in the rich cultural, historical and socio-economic contexts of the continent, focusing on locally appropriate and universally applicable solutions, from sustainable agriculture and healthcare innovations to climate resilience and digital transformation.

Join us for the Research and Innovation Week from 19 to 23 May 2025 at the Muckleneuk and Science Campuses. Through discussions, presentations and interactive sessions, we shall explore how African research shapes global conversations in healthcare, technology, sustainability and social development.

Do not miss the opportunity to engage with thought leaders, researchers and innovators who are driving change both locally and globally and discover how their work is contributing to a more sustainable, equitable future for all.
