PDRF Excellence Awards Ceremonies

PDRF Excellence Awards 2023

In recognition of the research publications produced by our Postdoctoral Research Fellows (PDRFs) during the first or second year of fellowship, we hosted an event that was attended by one hundred and seventeen (117) delegates, including PDRFs, their hosts, and vice deans, as well as UJ stakeholders.

We are grateful to our presenters:

Ms. Dudu Mbatha: PDRF Coordinator

Prof Victoria Graham: Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives and Administrative

Prof Penny Govender: Acting Senior Director 

Ms Reetha Nundulall: Director, Research and Innovation

Prof Sarah Gravett: Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research and Internationalisation

Dr. Vanishree Pillay: PBMR Specialist 

PDRFs’ excellent contributions to research publications have significantly driven the number of research outputs, making UJ a leading university in the number of research units produced.
Our PDRFs have contributed significantly to 4IR, or Industry 4.0. As we are driven to change, it is important that they position themselves to change the social, political, and economic fortunes of Africa. PDRFs have taken cognizance of our new developments and technologies.

We wish to congratulate our Awardees for 2023
