Collaborative
relationships with
universities abroad
Positive progress
There were a number of
positive spin-offs stemming
from UCT’s involvement in the
Worldwide Universities Network
(WUN) and the Australia Africa
Universities Network (AAUN).
UCT was granted nine research
mobility awards through WUN
and three UCT staff were
appointed as lead researchers
for WUN-sponsored research
projects, while the university
participated in six other
research development
fund projects led by other
universities. A UCT executive
delegation visited institutions
46
in the USA and Brazil to
formalise partnerships, and the
university’s partnerships overall
spread to new regions and
universities.
International visits
and leadership
Positive progress
The annual number of visits
to UCT by institutions from
abroad doubled between
2009 and 2013. While the
majority of these visits
continued to be from
universities in the global north,
visits from Africa more than
doubled during this period,
and those from the global
south (excluding Africa) tripled.
