The office promotes collaborative research and innovative environment for the socio-economic and political development of our societies, it supports Research, Innovations and Community Outreach. The Directorate of Research and Innovations supports the University to secure its mission and achieve the second pillar of the strategic plan. It also plays a connector role for the University with the Private Sector, Government and civil Society through encouragement of curious and creative minds to engage and create extraordinary solutions for societal 21st challenges. The Directorate has a mandate to secure funding for commercialized research and supporting both staff and students with funds to carry out research with a focus on creating global impact for NDU through cultivating and suppurating international research partnerships.<\/p>

We facilitate high-quality academic research through developing research strategy and policy, supporting researchers to access funding and form new collaborations, and managing governance procedures, research information systems and the contracting process. We also work with University faculties, students, industry and the community to provide support from the conception of an idea or technology through to a range of knowledge exchange and commercialisation outcomes.<\/p>

Working together, we aim to provide holistic support to researchers and a \u2018one stop shop\u2019 for external partners.<\/p>

The Directorate has research teams, each specialising in a different area of research and support, much of which is structured on a Faculty-facing basis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
