Research in the Faculty
A key objective of the Faculty of Commerce Law and Management (CLM) is to strengthen the research culture amongst its schools and to improve the research performance of its academic staff.
The Faculty Research Committee encourages individual research excellence and promotes collaborative research by providing academic staff and schools with a range of research incentives supported by professional research management practices.
The Faculty has a Research Office that is mandated to provide specialist support to research since it is the core activity of CLM and the University. The office develops new research capacity in addition to nourishing existing excellence as part of its implementation of the CLM Research Strategy.
The Faculty Research Committee provides opportunities and support to academic staff to:
- attend and participate in international and local conferences,
- undertake small research projects,
- apply for a professional rating by the prestigious National Research Foundation (NRF),
- be inducted into research as part of the responsibilities of every CLM academic
- and receive mentorship opportunities that are needed to develop research capacity and confidence.
The Research Office also manages research publications data as well as the research incentive accounts of Schools and individual research-active academics. To promote research output and encourage inter-faculty dialogue amongst academic members, the FRC helps to convene seminars and colloquia.
