The eThekwini-University Research Committee welcomes you.

The eThekwini-University Research Symposium is a joint initiative between the Municipal Institute of Learning (MILE), the Durban University of Technology (DUT), Mangosuthu University of Technology (MUT) and the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). The idea of arranging a symposium was initially discussed and agreed to by the eThekwini-University Research Committee in 2011. The relevance of the event stems from the need to share, disseminate and identify areas in local government where research outputs could be applied.

Expected Outcomes of the Symposium

• To provide networking opportunities.
• To further strengthen collaboration between academia and municipal practitioners.
• For researchers to gain ample recognition from partners and practitioners.
• Opportunity for students who are involved in cutting edge research to further engage with the partners who are looking to fund innovative research.
• Research findings to be filtered through local government.

Please note that this is a closed event. Admission is strictly by invite only.
