Publication Page Fees

The University encourages Publication of researchers’ work by paying the page fees provided the work is published in accredited journals and book chapters comply with the DHET requirements.

This fund is to foster research in the University by supporting research geared towards innovation and new knowledge production that lead to measurable outputs.
