Research Governance
Sol Plaatje University has various governing structures which oversee the Research environment in the university. The Senate of SPU is the primary governance structure for academic matters, including the research activities of staff, students, and the institution. Senate provides oversight on development, quality, and directions of research activities at SPU. The Senate of SPU is supported by its advisory structures, these flow from the faculty level where there are faculty committees, to the whole university level where there are sub-committees of Senate. The Research Office positioned under the Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research, Innovation and Postgraduate Studies, provides a central place for research management and engages with structures at both the faculty level and the University.
Senate Committee on Research (SCR), which identifies priority areas for research; developing, promoting, and monitoring research policies and practices; supporting engagement with key external stakeholders; and providing leadership and advice on the University’s research performance.
