Three years ago, in November 2008, the Tshwane University of Technology launched its Strategy for Research and Innovation. This strategy was developed to guide the Research and Innovation process at the University, and to present the necessary commitment to relevance and competiveness in pursuit of dynamic research and innovation. Key to the aims of this document is the establishment of the physical environment and a culture conducive to research and innovation, and building capacity for research and innovation while increasing the external research output of the University as a whole. This is done while prioritising the need for application in problem-solving that ideally lends itself to technology transfer and commercialisation. The University has gone a long way in laying a strong foundation for achieving these objectives and we are beginning to reap the fruits of our investments. It is in view of the above that I invite you to read the 2010 Annual Research and Innovation Report of the University
