CUT employees and students participated in the South African Sweden University Forum (SASUF) Research and Innovation Week at the University of Western Cape, Cape Town. The event, which officially commenced this week (27-30 March 2023), features more than 80 events connecting researchers, teachers, students, and university management representatives from over 40 SASUF partner universities.

The SASUF Research and Innovation Week is divided into two main parts: Satellite events taking place all across South Africa and the Sustainability Forum, hosted by the University of the Western Cape. These events focus on fostering collaboration, promoting innovation, and sharing knowledge among partner universities, with the ultimate goal of advancing research and development in the region.

One of the highlights of the event was the presentation by Mr Itumeleng Phage, an academic and researcher in the Faculty of Humanities whose research titled "Perspectives of physical science educators and learners on the teaching of kinematics graphs using algebraic graphs knowledge and skills: Retention of learners in STEMI fields," garnered significant interest and sparked thoughtful discussions among participants.

As the week progresses, participants will be engaging their peers in workshops and networking sessions where they will share their knowledge and expertise on various topics.
