Wits was the first South African university to have a nuclear accelerator, to test radar, to have a computer, to study building materials, to produce a systematic climatological atlas of southern Africa, to achieve a successful graft of plastic cornea, and the first African university to have access to a quantum computer. These are just some of our 'firsts'.
A cross-faculty, cross-discipline centre to promote postgraduate students focused on enhancing the postgraduate experience and promoting postgraduate research.
For 100 years, Wits has nurtured innovators, discoverers, problem-solvers, activists, artists, critical thinkers, and thought leaders - all who punch above their weight.
The Research and Innovation Office drives a number of initiatives that aim to grow future generations of scholars publishing research with impact.
The Strategic Partnership Office partners with universities, research entities, government, and many others in pursuit of solutions to impact society for good.
The Wits Innovation Centre (WIC) lies at the heart of our innovation ecosystem. This is where brilliant minds come together to create, share, collaborate, and support innovation across disciplines and boundaries, from first ideas and research to entrepreneurship and societal impact. We are committed to using our knowledge for the advancement of our community, city, country, continent, and the globe.
Wits is pursuing eight priority areas that will have a major impact on our society. For Good.
