BREAKFAST SESSION BY ELSEVIER
What does it take to fast-track a university to research-intensive status? A case of the University of Johannesburg

SPEAKER: Dr Ndivhuwo Luruli, University of Johannesburg (South Africa)

Born out of a merger in 2005 to become one of South Africa’s few comprehensive universities, the University of Johannesburg has certainly delivered great successes across its many key strategic areas, including teaching and learning, research, internationalisation etc. This is demonstrated in the size and shape of its student population at undergraduate and postgraduate levels; the incredible growth in the number of accredited research outputs produced by its staff, students, postdoctoral fellows and research associates; the increase in external research income raised; as well as the rise in global rankings, to name just a few. But how did UJ achieve all of its success in just 17 years post-merger? The presentation will share the “UJ journey” and will also touch on the various tools and services the University has used over the years, and how these would most likely evolve in the near future.
